Excellent Stay Experience

useful fridgeclean roomvaried menufair price

The fridge in the room was certainly useful. The room was also very clean and benefited from daily servicing. I appreciated the varied menu, even though I did not have the opportunity to dine at the hotel. I also observed the prices, and they looked fair.

A minor point is that the bathroom emitted an hourly noise resembling drilling, which occasionally disturbed my sleep.

Charming Stay Near the Wedding Venue

easy room changecomfortable beddelicious burger

The staff quickly addressed our room change request because of the initial room temperature. We also asked for a twin room setup, and it was granted. I found the bed very comfortable. I also enjoyed the tasty steak burger.

I had to go downstairs to ask for an extra towel since it wasn't initially provided in the room. But I liked my stay, and I would return.
