Great stay and really lovely staff. If I was to nitpick, the only issue is maybe a bit far from the centre but plenty of cheap parking nearby!

Modern, clean, great service. Breakfast was convenient with many options. There is some construction in the area but the rooms are quiet. The walk to old town takes about 15 minutes
