Everything was lovely. The staff were so friendly and hospitable. The breakfast was great and more than we expected.
The area is a phenomenal area and the Carta buses so convenient.
We would definitely stay here again.
Good location that’s the most positive about the property. Very overpriced for the conditions. Check-in staff was beyond unfriendly. Would not recommend.
