The hotel is situated in a convenient location, within easy walking distance to the town center. The rooms offer a good variety of items and excellent facilities, but unfortunately, the sofa bed intended for the children wasn't cleaned or replenished with fresh towels as expected.

The hotel is conveniently located within easy walking distance to the town center. However, being in a business park area, it lacks the charm of a more scenic spot.

The dining experience was satisfactory, with chips well served, but proper thick toast was not included. It offered local meat but could enhance the variety.

The hotel offers great facilities, including a restaurant with local meat options, but some areas, like the sofa bed for children, need better attention to cleanliness.

The hotel is situated conveniently in the heart of the town center, within easy walking distance to various attractions. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped for families, with lovely air conditioning units. The breakfast service is efficient, and the location offers easy access to nearby eateries. However, the presence of just one waiter on shift can lead to waiting times. The facilities are sufficient for a comfortable stay, though improvements in service staffing may enhance the guest experience.
