Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, with easy access to nearby attractions and dining options. The rooms were not as clean as expected, and housekeeping was a bit understaffed. Service had its ups and downs, but overall, it was satisfactory. The dining experience left something to be desired, with room for improvement in freshness and variety. Despite these aspects, the hotel offered decent value for money overall.
The hotel had fantastic rooms with a wonderful view but needed more lighting. The service was welcoming and friendly, even going out of their way to assist us. The location was perfect for exploring the downtown area, with large stylish rooms and easy access to restaurants and attractions. The dining experience was subpar, with limited options and unsatisfactory quality.
The hotel location is fantastic with various dining options nearby and close to attractions. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, but the bathroom design may affect privacy. The service is friendly but lacks attention to detail at times.
