The hotel is a gem with its modern and spacious rooms that are impeccably clean. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, making for a pleasant stay. The breakfast spread is decent, but it could offer a few more choices to really impress. While the fitness center is a bit lacking in equipment, the overall atmosphere is cozy. Overall, it’s a good value for the price, though the parking situation can be a bit inconvenient at times.
