The rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. The service was exceptional, with Eva and her team really going above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. The only downside was that dining options nearby could be more varied, but it's easy to explore local places. Overall, it’s fantastic value for money, and I would highly recommend it!
