wonderful stay
convenient location clean pool helpful staff
i found the location very convenient for exploring. everything i needed was within walking distance, like the shops and restaurants. i really enjoyed having access to a clean pool and fitness center. the hotel staff were friendly and always ready to help (they even gave me some local tips!).
the air conditioning unit in my room was quite noisy, a bit difficult to sleep soundly. perhaps newer models could reduce the noise level.
