My stay at the hotel was pleasant. The rooms, although not new, were clean and comfortable, and I enjoyed having a small patio with chairs facing the courtyard. The service was excellent overall, despite a minor issue with overbooking that was quickly resolved. The location, in a quiet neighborhood, was convenient for my needs, despite some early morning noise from the parking lot. The dining experience was satisfactory, although a bit pricey for standard packages. The hotel offers a business center, bar, and cafe among its facilities.

My stay at the hotel was quite average. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had cherry wood furniture, which gave them a traditional feel. The service was friendly, especially accommodating to our grandchildren during breakfast. The location was good if you prefer a quieter area, but a bit far from major cities. The dining was a bit pricey, but the quality was good. Overall, a decent stay with good value for the money.

If you want a quiet retreat away from the city buzz and enjoy ample space for a group, this hotel is a good pick. The rooms are comfortable, but the description can be a bit misleading at times. The service is friendly and accommodating, and the dining is on the pricier side. The location is convenient for travelers with a car, but watch out for roof leaks. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
