Staying at this hotel was quite comfortable in a particular kind of way, but had its drawbacks. The rooms, although cozy, were situated in what felt like a basement, which made them ideal for sleeping but not so great during the day. The service was very friendly despite some inexperience. The location was perfect for our needs, offering a beautiful view and a great atmosphere. The dining options were a bit too simple for our liking, but the overall stay was enjoyable.
