Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a particularly large attached bathroom and a gigantic comfortable bed, but the noise from the nightclub nearby was unbearable. The service, especially Madison the Receptionist, was outstanding, making our stay pleasant despite the noise. The location was convenient but marred by the noisy nightclub. The dining options were good with big portions, but the noise made dining there less enjoyable.
The hotel offers a cozy and comfortable stay with tastefully decorated rooms and a kingsized comfortable bed. The service is top-notch, especially at the reception desk during check-in and check-out. The location is central but impacted by noise from a nearby nightclub playing loud music late at night. The dining experience is average, but the facilities are well-maintained and convenient.
The hotel is ideally situated in the town center, but the noise from the nearby nightclub can be disruptive at night. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff like Madison at the reception. However, the lack of information on local attractions was a drawback. The dining experience offered big portions but did not include breakfast. Despite the central location, booking at specific restaurants like The Vault was a challenge.
