Fantastic Hotel with Quality Amenities

excellent food perfect location spacious room
The restaurant provided excellent food I loved Melissa's kind service. The hotel is near the city center making the location perfect. The room was spacious included nice decorations plus an excellent bathroom with a walk-in shower I just loved the courtyard and the plunge pool too.
The windows did not open fully limiting fresh air I had to keep the door wedged open for ventilation. This.

Decent Hotel Stay

convenient location helpful staff clean room small pool noise level missing gym
I stayed for a few nights and the location was really convenient! The staff was amazing and so helpful, I enjoyed that. My room was super clean, I appreciated that. Breakfast at the restaurant was tasty, I loved the food.
The pool area was a bit small, It needed to be bigger. Some noise came from outside, the walls need to have some more insulation. The lack of a gym was a disappointment, I wanted to exercise.
