I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which boasts a great location close to the town center and some lovely hidden gardens. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, I found the dining options to be quite limited, especially at breakfast. The facilities were nice but not luxurious, which may not suit everyone’s taste.
