My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the amenities were decent. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, particularly the limited breakfast selection. While the service was helpful, it wasn't quite as attentive as I had hoped. Still, the value for money was decent given the overall experience.

However, I found the dining options somewhat limited, especially at breakfast. The location is quite appealing, near several attractions, but the parking situation could be improved as it was a bit tight. Overall, it was good value for money, despite a few hiccups.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The rooms were not only clean but also super comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring the area, with easy access to local attractions. However, I felt the dining experience could have been better, especially the breakfast selection. The amenities, particularly the pool, were a highlight, but it was a bit disappointing that parking wasn't included in the rate.
