Adequate Experience

central locationpolite servicesmall roomunstaffed desk

I enjoyed the hotel's central location. It made exploring convenient. The building had a well-kept exterior. The staff provided very polite service. The excellent quality dinner in the main restaurant.

The room allocated was quite small. It seemed like the hotel prioritized wedding guests, so, finding the reception desk unstaffed was common. It created some difficulties for regular guests.

The breakfast was delicious.. especially the avocado on sour bread with sun blushed tomatoes. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I also appreciated the nice toiletries provided in the room.

My room was in the courtyard annex, across a busy road. The listing did not clearly state this, I feel. Parking at the hotel was difficult as well.
