municipal park swimming pool breakfast variety unfriendly staff

The location is near the municipal park and a short walk to the pedestrian area. The hotel offers necessary amenities, including a sauna and a swimming pool. I found free street parking about 50 meters away.

The breakfast lacked variety and quality (it had repetitive, basic options). The staff did not seem particularly friendly or helpful (this affected my experience).
