The location to the Christmas market (old Market) cannot be beat. Felt like a boutique hotel - added touches like touch screen lights, modern decor and bathroom. Many different light modes which was nice for nighttime bathroom access. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice to have water and snacks at the entry and sparking water in the room. Coffee maker nice with pods.
