7.6/10

The hotel was fantastic! The rooms had everything we needed, and my partner loved the swimming pool. It was modern, clean, with good parking, and close to shops. I will definitely recommend it to friends. However, the lack of a ceiling-mounted fan made it a bit hot for us.

Rooms

The room was spotlessly clean and mostly well-appointed, but the lack of a ceiling-mounted fan made it quite hot. A pedestal fan was provided.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious, perfect for our needs, but nothing extraordinary. The service was impeccable, although there were some noisy interruptions in the morning. The location was convenient, close to many attractions but had some noise disturbances. The dining experience was average and not worth the price paid. Overall, a decent place to stay with some minor drawbacks.
