Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with all necessary amenities, but there was an issue with flooding due to rainwater seeping in through the windows. The service is incredibly friendly with a welcoming touch like offering ice-cold drinks upon arrival. The location provides a quiet escape from the bustling town center. The dining options could be more varied to cater to a diverse clientele.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, offering a warm and pleasant shower and beds that provided excellent comfort. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely friendly and helpful. The location was outstanding, close enough to the center but far away from the hustle and bustle. However, the dining experience was somewhat lacking variety. Overall, a great value for money.
I had a nice stay overall, with big and clean rooms and helpful service. Unfortunately, the noise from construction was bothersome, and rain caused some issues with flooding in the room.
