I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and it was a bonus to get an early check-in. However, the cold temperature control not working was a bit of a downside. The service staff were friendly and courteous, though we encountered some rudeness at dinner on Saturday. The location was perfect for our night away, being close to many interesting points despite being a bit out from the center. The dining experience was really good with plenty of delicious choices, although it could improve on the service during dinner. Overall, a nice experience with some minor issues to consider.

The dining experience had its highs with delicious food but also some disappointments. Overall, a mixed experience.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were happy with its location and the proximity to the city center. However, the rooms had a foul smell when we walked in, were not the quietest, and felt overpriced for what was offered.
