Grateful for a Well-Located Stay

central locationconvenient trambreakfast choices
I was grateful for the hotel's proximity to the central station. The tram stop located directly in front of the hotel greatly simplified local transport. I found a variety of choices suitable to my preferences at breakfast.
I noticed a minor issue. The shower drain required some clearing to prevent water from pooling.
