Reviews and Ratings
I had a comfortable and spacious stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and large, although missing some amenities like Kleenex tissue and a mirror outside the bathroom. The noise from other guests could be a bit bothersome early in the morning, though.
The hotel is nestled in a central residential area with lovely local breakfast offerings, although it can be a bit challenging to locate. The rooms lack Kleenex tissue and a mirror outside the bathroom, and the noise from early-rising kids and adults can disrupt the peaceful ambiance. On the bright side, the service is excellent, with helpful and friendly staff who go the extra mile to ensure the safety of guests' belongings. The breakfast buffet, while not luxurious, offers a nice variety of fresh food, enhancing the dining experience.
