I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was big, clean, and had a very pretty view towards the city and surrounding areas. The hotel provides many free extras like crisps, cookies, Coca-Cola, orange juice, and lemonade. The service was very polite and helpful, making my experience even better. The location was somewhat convenient as it's close to the center but not central. The dining experience was good with a buffet type offering everything one needs.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were tidy, albeit with some stains on the walls in the bathrooms and in the main bed area. The bed being two singles put together was a bit of a letdown, but the sheets were clean and comfy. The breakfast was a highlight with a good selection of food to start the day off. The large and modern bathroom provided a luxurious touch. The hotel also offers many free extras like crisps, cookies, Coca-Cola, orange juice, lemonade, and more.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms that are warm and quiet. The rain shower provided piping hot water, adding to the cozy experience. The service was exceptional with polite and helpful staff attending to every need promptly. The location, while convenient for passing through due to its proximity to the highway and airport, requires transportation for historical center visits. The dining experience was good but could benefit from more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with great room comfort and service.
