The hotel provides a wonderful experience with beautifully decorated spaces and a warm ambiance. The rooms are spacious and very clean, featuring a comfortable bed that ensured restful nights. I particularly enjoyed the delicious and extensive breakfast options, although I found the dining area to be a bit too cozy at times. The location makes getting around so easy, especially with major attractions close by. Everything was quite reasonable in terms of price, but I did wish for warmer shower water on occasion.
