The room was a studio that could do with a refresh. The balcony was very nice. The room had a strange musty smell that wouldnt go away. The toilet was so close to the tub that it was awkward to use. Bedspread and sheets were very thin. However, parking was easy and it was convenient to shops and restaurants. Staff were nice.

This hotel offers a peaceful and quiet retreat. While it's a little bit outdated, the rooms are pretty clean and spacious, providing plenty of room to spread out. A big plus is the inclusion of a kitchen in every room (as far as I could tell), which more than makes up for the lack of a formal breakfast service and allows for significant savings on meals. The staff is nice and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. However, a lot of small things need attention or fixing throughout the property. The very quiet location is great for relaxation, but you'll definitely want to plan your free time and activities beforehand, as amenities and attractions aren't immediately nearby. Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Stars. A solid choice for those who appreciate quiet, space, and the convenience of an in-room kitchen.
