My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were clean and festively decorated, providing a very comfortable experience. While the couch was a bit worn, the effort to remove the stain was appreciated. The service was outstanding, with super kind and very helpful staff making my stay even more enjoyable. The location, though needing better shade areas, was still great, being walkable to main restaurants and shops. The dining experience was very good, offering delicious meals, though slightly on the pricier side. Overall, a top-notch experience.
