Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a lovely location surrounded by pleasant surroundings. The rooms are spacious and modern, offering a great bath experience but somewhat away from the restaurant. The friendly service staff provides pet amenities, but the inability to open the restaurant is a drawback. Overall, the stay offers good value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and modern, with a great bath and shower. The service was top-notch, with room service available upon request. The location was convenient for exploring the area, and the fresh sandwiches at the dining area were a delicious treat. The facilities, especially the pool, were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of my stay.
The hotel is situated in a lovely location, surrounded by pleasant surroundings and close to Alexander's Brasserie. The rooms offer a great bath and shower with a large shower over the bath, and having the window open adds to the experience. The on-site restaurant was unfortunately closed during my stay, affecting the overall experience.
