fresh breakfast preferential pricing restaurant recommendation central location

The breakfast was FRESH with numerous choices available. The hotel has agreements with nearby garages, offering preferential pricing. The staff was helpful, offering restaurant recommendations. The location is PERFECT, central to numerous attractions.

The lighting in the corridor leading to rooms was somewhat dark, which I found a little off-putting.

adequate stay with some issues

constant noise no response

the location was pretty good, i suppose.

My room was not quiet. the constant noise from what i suspect was a water pump kept me up most of the night. also, i got a follow-up message on whatsapp asking me to rate support. The message got no response which felt pretty pointless.

helpful staff delicious breakfast

The reception staff were helpful.). The breakfast had high-quality food and special mention goes to Gabriella who was super happy and helpful. The location is fantastic with lots of bars and restaurants nearby and walkable to everywhere.

My room was dark, small, the shower was tiny and it had a view of a bird poop covered roof. I asked to change rooms, but it was not possible, disappointing.
