Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were nice and spacious, with an extra seating area, perfect for families with little kids like ours. The staff was accommodating and understanding, even providing us with an upgrade and a late check-out due to our loyalty. The location, while not right in the city center, was convenient enough to reach key attractions quickly. The dining experience, although not vast for a 4-star hotel, offered delicious coffee and pastries. Overall, a lovely stay with some minor drawbacks.
