Really good location, charming stay

central location warm lobby staff support

This hotel sits perfectly in the city's heart, providing access to shops and dining. The lobby cat added a touch of warmth. Melissa, a staff member, rescheduled a tour when we missed it. Her support was fantastic. The hotel's location shone.

I noticed the absence of a fridge in my room. This meant keeping drinks cold was impossible. This was a small but noticeable inconvenience.

Rooms

The double room had ample space, a comfortable bed, and a balcony overlooking the city. This room included blackout curtains for restful nights and a modern television set. A nice balcony offered fresh air.
