9.4/10 Exceptional! (284 reviews)
Wonderful stay with one minor critique!We had a fantastic time during our stay here. The staff was incredibly welcoming, the service was top-notch, and the overall atmosphere was excellent. Everything from the check-in process to the overall comfort of the room exceeded our expectations.The only area that could use an improvement is the bathroom, which felt a bit dated. However, everything was perfectly clean and fully functional, so it didn't take away from our experience. 9/10- We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!!
