The staff was very kind. The location is excellent near tourist attractions. The rooms were clean and stylish. I really enjoyed the breakfast. It had many good options. The outdoor bar area was nice and quiet.

The temperature in the room was set to a fixed value. This was not ideal for personal comfort. I needed to use an electric heater. This situation was embarrassing for a four-star hotel.
