We had a great time. There were details that could use some improvement (the room cleaning was just good enough, the sink was slow to drain). The breakfast buffet was good. The location was perfect! The staff were helpful and nice. Overall very satisfied and would return.

Very small rooms. There was no space to open my suitcase, not even on the floor or on a bench which many hotels have for your luggage.
And there was no minibar either.

Rooms were smaller than expected. Bed was not comfortable. But location is good and many areas on walking distance.
