Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The room was incredibly comfortable with a very silent atmosphere, which I found to be a great touch. The decor of the Junior Suite King was truly spectacular. However, the walls were a bit thin. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location was superb, making it easy to explore various attractions on foot. The dining experience was more than satisfactory, leaving me impressed. Overall, a memorable stay with some minor room issues.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful. The rooms had been beautifully decorated for us, and we even received a lovely champagne delivery. Everything was very quiet, clean, and tidy, with the staff going above and beyond by bringing us flowers daily and surprising us with treats in the morning and evening. The complementary fruit and sweets were a nice touch, adding to the overall wonderful experience. However, the dining options could be improved, and some might find it a bit pricey for what is offered.
