We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was a last-minute pivot to book here and we did not regret it. The front desk was very kind and helpful, checking into our room was a breeze, and the bar was a lovely place to unwind and grab a cocktail. It is conveniently located within walking distance of some restaurants and easy to access some activities. A lovely hotel and would stay again!
