Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem, nestled near downtown with easy access to everything you need. The rooms are spacious and modern, but with a touch of cozy. The service is top-notch, although some additional amenities would be welcome. The dining options are decent but could use a bit more variety. Overall, a comfortable and convenient stay at a fair price.
The hotel is perfectly located, so close to everything and next to the restaurant. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a great view, but there is no balcony. The service is top-notch, with friendly staff and nice pet amenities available. However, the dining options are not included, offering only American pancakes. The facilities are luxurious and convenient, with premium amenities to enjoy.
I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The rooms were top-notch, the service was impeccable, and the location was just perfect. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited options. The facilities were excellent, and the price was reasonable given the quality provided.
