I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with spacious and well-lit rooms featuring a huge private balcony. The wait upon arrival was a bit long, but the room facing the backside was cozy despite the view of a brick wall. The service was exceptional, and the location couldn't have been more convenient for exploring the main attractions. The dining experience offered a good variety of choices.
