We have had a motorcycle tour one night.HCLFHLThe hotel is centrally located (close to the pedestrian zone), was very pleasant and clean, breakfast was very good and selections from Scottish and continental breakfast. What is negative, is the parking, our motorcycles, about 400 meters away in a public parking lot. Read more
