I found the hotel location to be very convenient, close to the town center and shops, although the rooms were a bit outdated and in need of repairs. The friendly service and good food definitely made up for it. It was a bit disappointing that the sound system needed an upgrade, but overall I had a comfortable stay at a fair price.
