Really good Hotel Experience

modern room comfortable beds excellent breakfast
The hotel is conveniently located near public transportation. A tram station is nearby, made getting around simple. The rooms were big and modern with very clean beds. I enjoyed the breakfast with options like smoked salmon. Staff were friendly, helpful, and gave excellent service.
The pool became very busy with swimming lessons. This limited access and made it hard to relax.
