The service was efficient, and the location was convenient for me, being close to town and food outlets while in a quiet, trendy part of town. The dining experience was about adequate, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is conveniently positioned in a trendy, quiet part of town, making it ideal for exploring the city center on foot. The rooms are decent but have a musty smell and faced minor issues promptly. The service stands out for its helpful and cheerful staff. The dining options are limited, but the location near a lovely park is a huge plus.
