The room was spacious and the large beds offered good comfort. indoor parking is available and i found the assistants helpful with parking. bottles for drinking water are on the first floor. I found out you can collect water on the floors themselves (it wasn't immediately clear). it is a short walk to the center.

the restaurant was closed during lunchtime, and i found very few restaurants nearby also open then.

spacious roomexcellent air conditioningvalet parkingflat pillows

The room felt very spacious and the air conditioning worked great. The shower was appropriately sized compared to tiny showers in Europe. I slept well since I did not hear noise from other guests. The valet parking was a definite plus.

The pillows were very flat so I recommend asking for extra. Though the bed was comfortable.

The breakfast included many options and was very nice. A lady at "La garage" made omelettes every morning, and it was so delicious. The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant, and the staff seemed efficient.

the room was quite spacious (i appreciated that). i also found the breakfast to be very good, with a large variety of both savory and sweet options. the hotel's location is convenient for visiting places. the parking service was helpful too.

the air conditioning was difficult to control. the hotel felt quite outdated (especially the guest rooms). they need refurbishment.
