great stay near the castle

the hotel provided a good number of parking spaces, made arrival easy. i found the room to be a decent size and clean, exactly what i needed for my short stay. breakfast each morning included fresh items and was very nice (especially the scrambled eggs!).
i did notice a slight delay during check-in as there was only one person at the front desk.
