“In my opinion, the vintage Art Deco design creates a special atmosphere, placing it perfectly for exploring the city's core; dining and event spaces add practical elegance. However, parking can be challenging, so it's best considered without a car. It stands out for its character and central location.”

The location was ideal for getting around. I could easily walk to many attractions. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I also enjoyed the meals I had in the restaurant.
The bathroom flooded my entire room when I used the shower. This was obviously a plumbing problem. The noise was still occurring when I left in the morning. The hotel should guarantee a good night's sleep.
