good breakfast selection rooftop restaurant friendly staff

The breakfast selection was good, with plenty of options. The rooftop restaurant offered city views (it was quite lovely). I found the staff very friendly and eager to assist with directions. The hotel's proximity to the train station made transportation easy.
