I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room I stayed in was clean and charming, but unfortunately small with little space for suitcases. On the bright side, the staff was really lovely and gave us helpful information about the local area. The location was perfect with bus stops right outside, making it convenient to explore the city. However, the dining options were somewhat limited.

The staff were lovely, offering plenty of local information and being very flexible, all in a great location. The dining was truly excellent, with top-notch service; it was a steak lover's paradise!
