LOVED this hotel!

immaculate rooms comfy rooms quiet facilities great location
The building has a great location between the old and new areas. Rooms were immaculate and comfy. They restocked the facilities DAILY. The gym has quiet facilities, and the poolside area was largely good. I re-booked for New Year's!!
The light switches were a little confusing at first. It took me some time to figure it out.
Location

The hotel sits perfectly, nestled between the historic old town and the more modern city areas. This positioning gives easy access to both. Both are reachable with only a short walk, SO convenient.

Breakfast was excellent with a huge selection! I also loved the excellent service in every dining area. There were several dining options to choose from. I tried most of them and had no complaints.
