Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a stay at this hotel recently, and while it was quite pleasant, there were some aspects that could use improvement. The rooms were spacious and offered a nice view, making for a comfortable stay. The staff was generally helpful, but I felt the service could be a bit more attentive. The location was great, close to attractions, but the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations, especially during breakfast. Overall, it's a solid option for a reasonable price, but a few tweaks could elevate it further.
