I had a fantastic experience at the hotel, as the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to assist with recommendations. The cleanliness throughout the entire property was impressive, and I loved the convenient location just across from a great local eatery and close to various bars and restaurants. it was only a short walk to historical sites and offered stunning views from the rooftop.
