I had a fantastic experience at this hotel; the location was ideal, just a short and pleasant stroll to the center of town. The staff were incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to assist us, especially when our taxi didn't show up for a day trip. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the convenience of having a small kitchen area, which made it easy to prepare our own meals.
