I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is unbeatable, with easy access to key attractions and a great atmosphere nearby. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making my stay enjoyable. The breakfast was impressive with plenty of variety, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. The only downside was the Wi-Fi; it wasn't the fastest, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a wonderful experience that I would definitely recommend!
