I had a decent stay at the hotel, with some aspects being quite good, like the spacious rooms and a friendly atmosphere. However, I did encounter issues with room service and the bathroom noise, which could certainly use improvement. The location is pretty central, making it convenient for exploring the area, and the price felt reasonable for what we got.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying its welcoming atmosphere and clean surroundings. The hospitality truly made me feel at home, with the staff always eager to help and create a friendly environment. However, there were some issues with the internet limits and a cumbersome refund process that left a bit of a sour taste.
