I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were amazing and friendly, and the hotel had a great vibe once you settled in for the night. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I didn't want to leave it in the morning. The location is perfect, as it is close to the city centre and right in downtown. The breakfast was delicious and had a good selection of food, including bacon, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and more. this hotel provided a great experience.
