Nice location and great service
Pros:

All of the staff were so friendly, especially the waitress that served breakfast. We arrived early and the front desk checked us in right away and helped with our luggage. The hotel was only a block away from the lift to the waterfront and just a few blocks to old town. Our twin bed room was small but well equipped for utilizing the space. And it had a big window that could be opened for fresh air, but also quite sound proof when closed.

Cons:

The toilet was an issue as we had to flush it several times just to get rid of toilet paper, and sometimes more. But that’s just part of staying at an old hotel.

Not worth it
Pros:

Parking, location

Cons:

No wifi on top floors , water gives you only on your 1st day quite surprising if your paying so much money for more than 1 day , if some items finish in b/f they will directly say we dont have till 3 days we hear about this 😅
