Excellent Family Stay

stylish room comfy bed great atmosphere

The room was stylish. I overslept because the bed was so comfy. A meal in the evening was great. The place was packed and had a great atmosphere. I will recommend this hotel to friends.

I find the breakfast choice a bit limited. A wider selection would be better.
