I was very pleased to return . the garden terrace was the best feature for me. the staff were excellent. They are very helpful and friendly! several dining options are located within a short walk.

Although the hotel was within walking distance of everywhere, the surrounding area felt a bit unsafe. i felt uneasy while walking on the street. i made sure not to go out in the evening. This wasn't mentioned in the reviews.
