Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms, perfect for my 10 lb Maltese in a dog-friendly property, were a fantastic size, though under normal circumstances, they might be a little more worn. The service personnel were very helpful, giving me great directions, restaurant recommendations, and metro tips. I was informed about the free drinks hour between 5 PM and 6 PM, which unfortunately I missed due to a delay. The location, superbly situated out of the hustle and bustle yet close enough to major sights, made exploration easy despite being on a one-way street. The dining experience was basic but sufficient before my brunch outings. The hotel's facilities were convenient for my needs.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The location was fantastic, with easy access to tourist spots and great restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, perfect for my son who enjoys a bit of fun. The service was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a minor hiccup during breakfast, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
