Dated soulless hotel good location beware parking
Not a 5 star...but a good 3 star. Location great for walking Old Town and restarunts and shops. 12 parking spaces for a very large hotel...parking is a nightmare. Reception and bar service good. But no atmospere in restaraunt or bar. Rooftop with pool only which closes at 1800. Stunning views but no bar or restaruant....crazy!
