The staff welcomed me warmly. the hotel's location near the central train station was super convenient. i loved the european breakfast. It had so many options and the canal view from the breakfast area was amazing. the craftsman themed rooms were a treat, each one unique.
i noticed a small stain on the hallway carpet outside my room. it didn't impact my stay much, but i figured i would mention it.
