"Overall a great place to stay. It was very clean and the bad was very comfortable. Having a private bathroom is a luxury. My only dislike was the paper thin door which didn't block out any sounds in or out."

It's a nice small city with a decent transport connection. We were here for a conference so didn't see much of it.
