We stayed at this hotel over Christmas and truly enjoyed our time there. The room was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable — the soundproofing was excellent, which made our stay especially relaxing. We also loved the warm bathroom floor, a small but thoughtful detail that felt wonderful during the winter. The staff were kind, welcoming, and always happy to help. Overall, it felt like a cozy and well-cared-for place, and we would happily stay here again.
