The hotel has an excellent location, right in the heart of the town, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms are quite spacious with stunning views, although I did have to start my stay in a smaller room due to an issue. The dining options were pretty good, but the breakfast could use a little variety. Overall, it's a decent value for money, though it wasn't perfect in some areas.
