The hotel is in a wonderful location, making it a pleasure to stay in. The rooms are clean, fully furnished, and the separate bedroom setup was great for our family. The service, including access to laundry facilities, was top-notch. Although close to fantastic restaurants, the dining options were a bit limited. The facilities were well-kept and enjoyable, but the value for money could be improved.
