Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was really enjoyable, especially due to the comfortable beds that made for a perfect night’s sleep. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which enhanced my overall experience. I also loved the unique historical ambiance of the place, but I found the dining options could be improved, as the breakfast, while tasty, didn't have as much variety as I hoped. The outdoor spaces were definitely a highlight, but any noise from nearby areas was a slight drawback during my stay.
