Really good Experience!

fabulous location helpful staff comfortable bedding
The location is fabulous. I found the staff helpful. They made check-in easy and were always available. Being able to drop off my luggage before check-in was definitely perfect. The room was quiet and looked super fresh, with very comfortable bedding.
The light switches in the room were confusing. I also noticed that the toilet paper was rather cheap and positioned too far from the bowl, inconvenient.
Dining
9/10
The restaurant boasts a good menu, particularly for breakfast. The attention to detail in the presentation of the dishes was excellent, showcasing the chef's dedication to both taste and visual appeal. The food was AMAZING!!!
Rooms
