First time at Varscona

We had a pleasant stay at Varscona. The front desk staff were exceptionally helpful, friendly, and accommodating, going out of their way to honor our request for a quiet room. A special shout-out to the team for their warm hospitality! The linens and towels were clean, and everything in the room was in good working order. While the hotel could benefit from some upgrades and a thorough deep cleaning, the attentive staff made our experience enjoyable. Thank you for a comfortable visit!

Water pressure in the showers is disappointing. I understand to have eco-friendly shower heads, but the ones at Varscona are quite ridiculous. Otherwise, it is a quality hotel.
