Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's great location and breakfast options, particularly the croissants. However, there were consistent complaints about the service, with some staff being indifferent and slow to respond. The hotel seems to cater more to business travelers than families, and there were issues with room amenities and housekeeping.AI-generated from customer reviews
