Clarion Hotel Admiral
The room was spotless and the staff were very friendly even before I checked into my room. They checked in on me while I was waiting for my family to return and even brought me coffee while I waited.

Clean room and great breakfast. Only minor thing which could have been better was more plug sockets next to the bed, only had one and only on one side.
