"Hotel Emion is a beautiful and modern hotel situated in a sleepy and quaint location just 5 mins walk from the train station. My family of 4 adults shared one room as they offer an option with 4 double beds, which worked out great. The room felt spacious and clean and the bathroom was great, as the sink area, shower/tub, and toilet were all separated. Helped with us all getting ready each day. There are multiple restaurants on the 1st and 2nd floor, as well as some vendors selling various items...
