“In my opinion, the property sometimes struggles with noise issues, but what stands out is the exceptional service; staff seem genuinely committed to creating a positive experience for guests. Birthdays are celebrated with unexpected, personal touches, reflecting a level of attentiveness I find quite rare. When things go well, I think it makes for a memorable stay.”
