Make sure to get a room with a balcony overlooking the river - best reason to stay in this basic but nice hotel. Staff are sweet, breakfast is good, though we did have a moth infestation! There’s parking in rear suitable for tiny cars, public lot very close by for the rest. Minutes walk from central old town area and right near the tower and walk up to beautiful park and views

Breakfast was very good. Front desk staff was exceptional. But the hotel is very noisy. The maids start vacuuming the hallways at 7:30am and carry on VERY loud conversations outside your door, so if sleeping is a priority, I would recommend someplace quieter.
