We loved the hotel's location, which was close to supermarkets and restaurants, making it convenient to explore. The breakfast was fantastic, featuring pancakes, waffles, and good coffee, plus free evening soup that encouraged guest interaction. Clean and comfortable, our apartment had a kitchenette, and the friendly staff made check-in a breeze.

We loved the location; it's right in the center of town. The staff were amazing, especially Chris, who helped us with local tips and kept everything clean. The complimentary breakfast, including pancakes, was a delightful start to our day. We also enjoyed the free soup in the evening – a tasty touch after a long day of exploring!
