The breakfast buffet was excellent. It featured diverse, professionally prepared selections. I found the staff helpful. They readily assisted with directions and requests. The hotel's location provided easy access to the train station. It also allowed convenient exploration of historic areas.
I noticed cooking odors in my room. These originated from classes at the cookery school. Air fresheners could mitigate this.
