    Had a great time at this hotel! The staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. The rooms were nicely furnished with comfortable beds and the breakfast was delicious. One of the best things about the hotel was its location, which was convenient to everything we wanted to see and do. , the free Wi-Fi was reliable and speedy.

    . The air conditioning was pretty loud and didn't work very well in one of the rooms we stayed in, which made it uncomfortable to sleep.

    During my Easter stay, I appreciated the comfortable rooms, which had everything I needed, like a spacious bathroom and a soft bed. I also found the breakfast to be excellent and had a wide variety of options to choose from. the hotel was in a good location, close to popular tourist spots and easy to access public transportation.

    My experience was dampened by the fact that the air conditioning was not maintained well, which caused me to have trouble breathing and triggered my asthma. the communication with the hotel staff was poor as they did not respond to my requests regarding airport pickup and a quiet room.

The hotel's location was also ideal, with easy access to various amenities and attractions. The quality of service here was truly top-notch.
