Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were cozy and had a comfortable queen-size bed, but the shower was a bit disappointing. The service was top-notch, especially with prompt housekeeping services. The hotel's location right in the center of everything made it super convenient for exploring the town. The dining options were decent, with tasty butter available. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a good value for money overall.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the downtown area and close to everything you could need. The rooms were cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch. However, I was a bit let down by the dining experience as the handmade pasta wasn't as impressive as I had hoped. Overall, a great value for money with so much to offer.
