Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a great experience at the hotel, thanks to its spacious and modern rooms that felt so inviting. The location was absolutely perfect, just a stone's throw from popular attractions and eateries. However, I found the dining options to be a bit lackluster, especially when it came to breakfast. The amenities were nice, but I think they could enhance them a bit more. Overall, considering the price, it was quite decent, but there are a few areas that could use some improvement.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable accommodations that made me feel right at home. The friendly staff really enhanced my experience, making everything feel warm and welcoming. However, the dining options need some improvement, especially in terms of variety at breakfast. The pool area was enjoyable and well-kept, but I was disappointed to find that Wi-Fi wasn't complimentary, which felt a bit outdated. Overall, it was a good value for money stay.
