What a wonderful stay! The hotel rooms were cozy and clean, making me feel right at home. The staff was attentive and friendly, always ready to assist. However, the room service was a bit slow in bringing the menu. The location was ideal for exploring the city and enjoying delicious treats right downstairs. The dining experience was fantastic, especially with the homemade preserves. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor room lighting issues.
