Excellent Hotel with Modern Amenities

extensive buffetclean laundrymineral waterconvenient bus
The breakfast buffet was extensive, with choices including champagne. I found a laundry facility on site, it was clean and reasonably priced. The room had glass bottles of mineral water provided, along with coffee and pajamas. The bus stop nearby allowed me easy access directly to popular spots.
I encountered limited parking availability at the hotel. It did cause some inconvenience .

The room was spacious enough to accommodate large suitcases, I appreciated this practical design element. The shower features a rainfall shower head, it provides an enjoyable experience. The room included comfortable beds, like clouds after a long day.

The breakfast buffet included many options and champagne. The executive option provides tea time, it also offers wine with finger foods. Dishes used fresh, local, seasonal ingredients and some had an italian flair.
Location
8/10
The hotel is located a block from a bus stop, the buses provide direct access to attractions. A mall is located at walking distance from the hotel, that's perfect for shopping and dining options. It's located away from the action though that makes it quiet.
