We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The location was perfect for a weekend getaway, close to everything while still feeling relaxing and comfortable. The property itself was beautiful, very clean, and had great amenities that made our stay even more enjoyable. This would be an ideal spot for an anniversary or special occasion. Everything felt well taken care of and inviting. We also ordered room service, which was delicious, and the breakfast was just as impressive. We will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

I usually book a hotel based on other reviews. There’s nothing bad to say about this hotel. The hotel staff is so attentive and really nice. The hotel was clean and walking distance to a lot of restaurants. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Complimentary soft drinks and snacks in room and free delicious breakfast. I loved this hotel and definitely would recommend.

The location is great. The hotel is beautiful and very quiet. The staff, with the exception of the staff of the restaurant located downstairs, is amazing! Everyone from the team greeting you and opening the doors for you when you arrive to the team checking you in, are so attentive and friendly. Anastasia checked us in and greeted us with 2 glasses of champagne as well as sent us a bottle to our room two days after on my birthday. I shared with her during our check-in that we were there to celebrate my birthday and she remembered! She made our trip extra special!
