I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully clean and stylishly furnished, and when I arrived at night, they had been heated beforehand, so it was nice and warm. The service was top-notch with super friendly staff offering free fruit for my stay and good snacks in the room. The location was good and very handy to local facilities, although it could be a bit loud for light sleepers. The dining experience was delicious and quite cheap, with nicely presented and tasty dishes. The facilities were excellent, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The hotel's location was just so close to town and the event I was going to, making it very convenient. However, it was a bit small for heating anything other than a packaged meal. But the well-equipped features made up for it.
