Very nice hotel, beautiful view, great breakfast. Tricky to find from the train.
Pros:

Very nice hotel. We paid for a room with a view and it was stunning. Very comfortable beds. The breakfast was the best breakfast we had in 18 days of travel.

Cons:

The hotel is very close to the train station, if you know how to get there. We spent 30 minutes in the rain figuring it out. You need to leave out of the bottom level of the train station and follow the path. There may be instructions on the hotel website that we missed but this part was a bit frustrating.

Staying here was restful
Pros:

The front desk staff were wonderful. They went out of their way to welcome us, give us hints on things to do in the area and even show us an easy way to get our luggage to the train station. In all our travels they have been the best!
