I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was beautifully located in front of a charming little park. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the experience memorable. However, the rooms could definitely use some improvement in terms of comfort, especially the pillows. Also, the dining options were a bit limited, which was a letdown. Overall, it's a nice place with a fantastic location but could enhance a few areas for a more luxurious feel.
