Beds were really comfortable and it was in proximity to a lot of restaurants and things to do. The only thing I will mention is that it has an interesting smell to it but if that doesn’t matter much then I recommend booking.

very nice place to stay

The staff was friendly, the lobby look beautiful, the water at the swimming pool was very cold, I like the breakfast, room was clean, nice bed, maybe curtains that will close all the way to keep the room a little more dark.
