I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was superb, right in the centre of the main street in this city. It was convenient for exploring the local pubs and only a short walk from the easily accessible path that runs alongside the lake. The cleanliness of the room was top-notch, and the breakfast served by the happy and cheerful staff was absolutely fabulous.
