Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and spacious, although they could use a little updating in terms of the bathroom and carpet. The staff was very kind and helpful, making my overall experience quite enjoyable. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions, and the dining experience was decent, although there were some areas that could be improved.
The hotel was a lovely stay with comfortable and clean rooms, friendly and accommodating staff, and a great location near restaurants and shops. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with cold coffee and overly sweet breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, a cut above similarly priced hotels, but the air conditioner didn't work, making it a bit hot at times. The bathroom was stunning, and the location was convenient with amenities available right across the street.
