The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Clean!

I stayed in a Superior Double Room for 2 nights, and I must say, it was quite comfortable. The room was clean, and I appreciated the hot water in the shower. It made my stay enjoyable. The best part was the attached terrace, which was a lovely spot for reading or eating outside.

Delicious Smash Burgers!

During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the hotel restaurant. The smash burgers were amazing and definitely hit the spot after a long day. Plus, the cold beers really complemented the meal. It's a great option for late-night dining!

Great Water Pressure!

The bathroom in my room had excellent water pressure during my showers, which I really appreciated. It felt great to have a refreshing shower after a day of exploring. Hot water was always available, making my stay even more pleasant.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have mixed feelings. The rooms were really clean and spacious, making my stay quite comfortable. However, the dining experience wasn't great, especially during breakfast where the options felt a bit lacking. The pool area was a nice touch, though, and the price seemed fair considering what I got.
