The location is advantageous. It provides easy access to nearby buses that travel to the main historical center. The hotel has a bar with a good food selection for a quick snack. Check-in was quick, and the room was clean and well-equipped.

The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from the city center. The hotel location is on a busy riverside highway. The bar was not always fully stocked.
