The family celebration buffet selection was AMAZING. I found the staff REALLY friendly. The room included a little roof terrace with a comfortable bed and GREAT shower.

I didn't like that kitchen closed EARLY. I expected better considering it was a Friday. No one offered a pre-order, or even some sandwiches.

Perfect Getaway at the Heart of Town

warm hospitalitytasteful decorationgarden viewpoor service

I returned to this hotel and discovered the same warm hospitality. I found the rooms were modern. They featured tasteful decoration. A rear garden view added a lot to the experience! The fresh, homemade traditional food offered a wide variety.

The service seemed poor. It seemed like the team did not want to be there. The staff seemed disinterested. They lacked attention. This diminished the entire experience, I regret.
