Park in the parking garage at the hotel property. Take the elevator to the 6th floor and you’re right there at the Rock hotel! So convenient. Facility is very clean and staff very helpful. Rooms are small, but if all you’re going to do is sleep there then it’s perfect. Also there’s a grocery store on the ground level.

Great location, close to the train station and cathedral. Bit tricky to find the entrance. I think I was upgraded from a single to a standard room, it had a nice view of the cathedral. Pretty basic though, no fridge, kettle, chair, or table. Fine for a one-night stay.
