Good breakfast room with a self-help breakfast bar such as cereal, bread, fruit, etc. combined with a set menu of items. They do let you order custom plates from their menu such as scrambled eggs and pancakes which isn't on the menu, but eggs are and so are pancakes. Lunch and dinner is also available in their restaurant, and they have a decent bar and small outdoor patio. A snack vending machine has candy and drinks, though bottled water was only available from the bar. Food was good, and service was very good at all meals and the bar. The hotel is a combination of old and upgraded, remodeled rooms, and some rooms, ours for example, were most directly accessed by going up a maze of stairs. They do have a lift, but you may still need to navigate some stairs depending on where your room is located. Our room had no view to speak of (roof top between buildings with a large air vent outside our window), so if a view is important you'll need to be specific. No air conditioning, which wouldn't normally be needed but it was hot when we were there. A provided fan was a big help. Instant coffee and tea are provided and TV had a decent set of stations though we didn't watch it much. Good location in town. Train and bus stations are moving a bit further away in the near future, but they will still be in walking distance. Not a bad choice for a stay.

Accepting that we were here during a heatwave, for as much as we paid for the room, one would think better attempts would be made to accommodate guests. The room was dreadfully hot during the day. We reported the fan supplied in the room was broken and we were told they couldn't do anything about it and we were out of luck. For the $750 we paid to stay you'd imagine they could get one and send it up. They made no attempt to move us or refund us for the stay.
