    Unexpected Comfort Amidst a Minor Setback

    Our stay was pleasant overall, though we faced a hiccup with the hot water in the morning. The staff were warm and accommodating, ensuring we felt at home. The breakfast served was delicious. For future guests, check hot water availability before your morning routines!

    delicious breakfast
    helpful staff
    great dining options
    lack of amenities

    The dining scene nearby is a true culinary adventure! Harvest Restaurant offered delights that are hard to forget. Plus, the included breakfast was made to order, which hit the spot after a long day. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, making my stay even better.

    While I’d expected a swanky room with a balcony and a spa-bathtub, it turned out to be a letdown. The room I booked was occupied, which felt cheeky. Still, I loved the quiet and cleanliness overall.

    late checkout
    outdoor swimming pool
    spa lounge
    short stay

    It was a last minute check-in, and they gladly accepted us, even moving us to a different room for a late checkout. The outdoor swimming pool and spa lounge were such great spots to unwind after a long trip. The only downside was that I wish I could’ve stayed longer. I truly enjoyed my night here! 😊
