I had a lovely stay at the hotel thanks to its cleanliness and the helpfulness of the staff. The location made it so easy to explore the city and visit nearby attractions. The breakfast was truly a highlight, with tons of delicious options to choose from. If I had to point out a downside, it would be that the rooms could benefit from a bit of modernization to fully match the exceptional service and food.
