I chose this hotel based on various recommendations. I had an enjoyable stay. The bed was comfortable. I took a hot shower every day. Cleaning staff do a great job maintaining clean rooms. I was welcomed warmly upon arrival with sangria and a friendly chat at the bar.
The elevator was tiny. It was big enough for one person pushing a luggage cart.

The location provided convenient access to various shops for food and drinks. The pre-travel communication was effective. The room was clean and tidy. The housekeeping service was much appreciated, especially for a short stay. Orion was especially friendly during check-in and addressed all my questions.
The hotel lacked a refrigerator and an ice machine, which would have been convenient.
