Very nice hotel, clean room and close to a lot of things including the city tram and shopping. But for our stay the shining stars were breakfast and all of the staff. Breakfast was excellent with a full compliment of items. The staff at breakfast and front desk were exemplary: attentive, pleasant, and at peak form doing an excellent job. We were very impressed.
