The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the center. The primary thing that you should be aware of before staying here is that the non-smoking policy is NOT actively enforced by the hotel managers. They do not ask guests not to smoke in the common area downstairs, and the smell permeates the entire property, because there is an open stairwell that goes up from that common area to the hotel rooms.
I asked the manager at breakfast about the smoking policy when someone was actively smoking underneath the "no smoking" sign, and he did ask that person to stop. However, other times, in the evenings, there was no enforcement of the policy. It seems they only say something to other guests if someone complains. As a result, there is a widespread smoking smell in the hotel.
The room felt dated and there was little sound proofing.
