We had a great six nights stay at the hotel. Excellent staff and very friendly. The breakfast were amazing for a hotel on a beautiful rooftop.central location for the historic district. It was about a 20 minute cab ride to some of the other touristareas. Especially nice having the coffee shop that included a lot of food and friendly staff, especially Axel.
