The check-in process was quick. i received an upgrade to a larger room. It was a beautiful king room. the location is ideal for exploring the area.
The service was slow and not very friendly. breakfast was disappointing, with overcooked eggs. the hairdryer reminded me of a 90s motel. I had to keep a button pressed for it to work.
