8.8/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)
This property is conveniently located, offers a reasonably varied breakfast, and the rooms are spacious and well furnished. Excellent water pressure. But the standout feature is the staff. They are so kind and helpful, trying hard to accommodate every need. They really made our stay a pleasant one, especially given that we had to land at this hotel at the last minute when our Airbnb didn’t work out. Bonus: they are pet friendly! Things to know: The hallways can be a bit noisy and the doors close very loudly Beds are firm (typical for the region)
