Excellent stay!

garden view church dome welcome drink convenient bus

The premium room on the third floor offered great views of the garden, church dome, and tower. I found the bus stop directly across the street to be very convenient for quick trips. The lobby and patio areas were well-suited for socializing, and the complimentary welcome drink from the bar was good. I appreciated the staff friendliness and helpful attitude.

The room walls felt a bit thin, so I could hear some noise from neighboring rooms.
