My stay at the hotel was delightful overall, thanks to the quiet ambiance and modern amenities. The brunch was a standout experience, especially the smoked salmon dish that truly impressed me. However, I did find the pricing a bit on the higher side, and while I enjoyed my time, it felt a touch expensive considering a few minor drawbacks.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The atmosphere was inviting and the ambiance was truly enjoyable, especially with the live music on Saturday nights. The heated pool was a lovely perk for relaxation, and I can't stop raving about the brunch-especially that smoked salmon dish! However, the rooftop bar's noise level could be a concern for light sleepers.
