Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is top-notch, right in the heart of the city and within walking distance of all the downtown attractions. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. I did find it a bit disappointing that the nearby restaurants only offered alcoholic beverages in the evening, but that didn't overshadow the wonderful experience I had here.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, being in the center of the city and close to the tram, but it was hard to find taxis and the surrounding restaurants only served alcohol. The service was adequate, with only one reservation available for one room. The rooms had good beds but the price for the value was a bit on the higher side. The dining included freshly baked cookies, which was a nice touch.
The hotel was nestled in a nice area, convenient to downtown locations and some surrounding restaurants, albeit serving only alcohol. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, but the dining options were limited. The service was satisfactory, though a bit pricey. Overall, an enjoyable stay with some room for improvement.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, close to great restaurants and right where I wanted to be in downtown. The rooms were cozy and the staff was very accommodating. However, the dining options were limited, and the facilities were just average. Overall, a good value for money.
The hotel is situated in a prime location right in the center of the city, close to the tram and Riverwalk, and within easy reach of a variety of surrounding restaurants. The hotel offers well-maintained facilities and amenities. Although the dining options were limited to serving only alcohol at some nearby restaurants, my overall stay was comfortable and convenient.
