I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was very clean and had comfortable accommodations. While the location offered some great convenience to local attractions, I felt the dining options, especially breakfast, left a bit to be desired. Overall, the amenities were satisfactory, making it a decent choice for the price, though I did wish there were more options for relaxation and recreation on-site.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel, enjoying its modern and spacious rooms that were both clean and comfortable. The location was ideal, with various restaurants just a short walk away. However, the dining options could definitely be improved, especially during breakfast. The facilities, especially the pool area, were lovely and well-kept, which added to the overall experience. The Wi-Fi, unfortunately, came at an additional cost, which was a bit of a letdown.
