a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was spotless, and the location is absolutely amazing. The beds are super comfortable I slept like a baby every night. The bathroom is a bit on the smaller side, but that’s just a tiny detail because the shower is incredible! Powerful and relaxing, exactly what you need after a long day of exploring. Highly recommended, and I would definitely stay here again!
