This hotel is a gem! The rooms are so cozy and come with a delightful surprise of complimentary soft drinks and mini bar treats. The service here is top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the city center with easy access to all the attractions. Dining was a pleasant experience with included meals and beautiful views. However, the facilities could use a bit of sprucing up, and the dining options were limited.
