I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location was perfect - right in the middle of downtown with everything within walking distance. The rooms were lovely, and the staff provided exceptional customer service. However, the music from the nearby nightclub went on until 2 am, making it a bit noisy at night. The hotel offers great value for money considering its prime location and comfortable accommodations.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and had a lovely view. The staff provided exceptional service, and the location was perfect, right in the heart of downtown. The dining options were top-notch, especially the fresh French patisseries. However, the facilities could use some updates, and the pricing was a bit on the higher side.
