We found this option very comfortable. Two friends traveling together needing separate beds. Pull out couch beds in the lounge/kitchen area. Hotel is very well situated, close to all sights and some very good restaurants. There is no breakfast but you can get a continental breakfast sent up. If you want eggs you have to go out. The desk staff were super, always helpful and friendly.

Family room was quite small but just about big enough. Great hotel with great service. A wonderful relaxing stay in a beautiful area. An easy and safe 5-10 min walk into the town. Would definitely stay there again.
