I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the friendly service and convenient location near plenty of attractions. The rooms offered fantastic views, which was a real highlight, though they could get a bit uncomfortable if the weather was warm. Dining was adequate, but there’s room for improvement. Overall, it's good value for money, but be aware that the rooms may not be cool enough during hot days.
