7.8/10

The hotel offers spacious and extremely comfortable rooms with high-quality furnishings, although some areas like the carpets appeared a bit worn. The spotless rooms lacked a chair despite having a desk but featured fabulous beds. The service was mostly engaging and chatty, with a few minor hiccups such as inexperience in breakfast orders. The location suited my needs perfectly for exploring nearby attractions, and the dining experience, while efficient, had a few missed details. Overall, a convenient stay with friendly staff and clean, comfortable accommodations.
