“In my opinion, this is a grand hotel that has an ideal location for travellers wanting to explore on foot. I was particularly impressed with the blend of casino and leisure facilities, and the free airport shuttle is a nice touch. Add in an Italian dining experience that stands out from other options, and it's easy to recommend.”
