I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, and the pool area was lovely. The service was attentive and the location was great near the trolley station, with a wonderful pool and cafe available for guests. The only downside was the limited dining options such as chopped salads.

The hotel offers lovely and clean rooms in a nice pool area. The service is accommodating, and there are conveniences like room service and nearby shops. The location is great, being near the trolley station, with a fantastic pool and cafe available for guests. However, the dining experience lacks variety in local cheese.

This hotel is a gem with its lovely and clean rooms, nice pool area, and convenient location near the trolley station. The cafe available for guests is a plus, but the Swiss cheese in the dining options could be improved. The service, although swift and accommodating, lacks room service availability and shops on-site. A cozy stay at a reasonable price but may not offer the best value for money.
