What Guests Are Saying?

Barry

United States, April 2024

8.2/10

My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The room was spacious with a separate pull-out sofa and had a great view of a beautiful church. The breakfast included was a nice touch, making mornings even better. The service was top-notch, super friendly, and accommodating, even allowing us a late check-out that we didn't end up using. The location was perfect, within a short walk from many tourist attractions. The only downside was the dining options, as the breakfast served could have been more varied.
