Hotel is located in a central area next to the shopping. Breakfast was wonderful and staff was very accommodating. Beds were way below par, my living room sofa is more comfortable than the bed we slept in. The biggest drawback is the see thorough bathroom walls, it’s completely open glass separated area. We couldn’t take shower or bath with kids staying in the same room and every time I need to change I had to scram myself in a very tight toilet space which was the only private area. I can see how I could enjoy this space being just the two of us but it’s completely family unfriendly. If you are traveling as a couple it could be a great stay.
