Breakfast here is up there with the best of them, location is just perfect and the staff (although understaffed) did a great job of keeping up with things.

Location is right in the centre of town. Only 3 minutes walk from George Fisher from where you can rent hiking boots. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Don't forget the hearty breakfast that the hotel provides at no extra cost. Opposite the hotel, try Merienda restaurant which has a delicious fusion of Middle East and Far East delicacies.
