I was highly satisfied with my stay at this hotel! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was absolutely amazing—fresh, delicious, and with a great variety to choose from. One of the highlights was the rooftop, which offered stunning views and the perfect spot to relax. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying here again!

I had a very pleasant stay. The staff were super polite. Everything was maintained and well kept. Like many other reviews, the roads were loud, depending on how close to were to the street. I had a massage and she did wonderfully, but again the room was directly on the street so it was hard to relax at times. I also had a pip dripping which kept me up throughout the night. Overall, great place. Centrally located. I would stay here again.
