The building is stunning and offers comfortable rooms with a lovely atmosphere, though some areas showed signs of age. Staff were welcoming, but cleanliness could improve as dust was noticeable. Dining was enjoyable with good meals, which made for an overall pleasant experience.

Had a great time with friends! We enjoyed the yoga and the aerobics classes offered here. The relaxing pool was a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Just a heads up, some areas could use a bit of a touch-up, but overall, it was a fun stay and great value for money. The location is perfect for visiting nearby attractions.
One downside was that the room was quite cold, and the furniture felt really outdated, which took away from the comfort a bit.

I had a restful overnight stay. The room provided a quiet space. I appreciated the easy check-out process. Breakfast had variety, but I had to make do with the available options. I was already familiar with the area from my previous visits and enjoyed exploring local attractions. No fried eggs, but it didn't ruin my morning.
