Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were super cosy but not ideal for light sleepers due to the noise from the train passing by every 20 minutes. My room was close to the lobby with a loud clanking flagpole outside. On the upside, the room was spacious, very clean, and equipped with a sofa, writing desk, two separate sinks, and a nice shower bath.
My stay at the hotel was quite an experience! The rooms were a mix of spacious and comfortable to start with, but I had to change to a different room the next day. The service was impeccable, from the friendly welcome with a glass of wine to the engaging restaurant staff, making my stay truly memorable. The location was awesome, with great proximity to shopping and dining options. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, with a few menu items unavailable. Overall, a memorable stay with some minor hiccups.

The hotel has some beautiful, elegantly decorated rooms with comfortable beds, but they definitely need an upgrade. While spacious, they felt dated, and some hardware was difficult to operate. The service was very friendly and accommodating, although the restaurant service was a bit slow at times. The location is excellent for various activities, with a nice atmosphere and convenient access to different areas. The dining options were decent but a little pricey for what was offered.
