a decent experience

helpful staff friendly staff best breakfast convenient location overpriced transfer broken tv patchy internet
the staff was very friendly and helpful. the breakfast was near the best i have ever experienced. i found the hotel to be very conveniently situated right in the heart of the town, near shops and restaurants.
The airport transfer service was overpriced. I was not made aware of cheaper options. the tv in my room did not work, unfortunately. i found the internet to be quite patchy as well.

totally awesome stay, loved it!

complimentary breakfast convenient location helpful tips
I really appreciated the complimentary breakfast. It was so good! the location was super convenient, close to everything i wanted to see. mark at the front desk was helpful! he gave me great tips for exploring the area.
The tub was very deep, and it was a bit difficult to get in and out. Elderly guests may struggle with this.
