My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were very clean and user-friendly, they were tiny and lacked a cozy atmosphere. The service, however, was incredibly helpful and warm, with nice little perks to enjoy. The location was convenient for accessing various spots, although the parking situation was not ideal at night. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the facilities were satisfactory overall.

My stay at this hotel was like a European experience, reminiscent of our time in Paris. The rooms are compact but well-lit, with small shelves maximizing space. The service was top-notch with attentive and friendly staff. The hotel's location is great, although hilly, and offers easy access to local attractions and restaurants. The dining provided a variety of breakfast options, and the facilities were well-maintained.
