I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, especially with the cleanliness and the staff. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making my stay feel luxurious, and the towels and bed linen were top-notch. The location is perfect, right in the city center, and the hotel facilities, including a great gym and affordable parking options, added to the overall convenience. The friendly staff were attentive and went above and beyond, even helping me with forgotten belongings.
