The hotel had some great aspects like clean and spacious rooms, and the staff was super accommodating, especially when it came to my pet. However, the location felt a bit far from downtown, and the breakfast options left much to be desired, making it less appealing overall.
Rooms

Location

While the hotel is a bit of a trek from the downtown area, it does offer a quiet environment and proximity to some local shops and restaurants. A good walk can lead you to cute spots.
Dining
5.0
The breakfast was definitely a letdown with limited options and some dishes falling flat, making it not worth the extra cost.
Facilities
7.0
The hotel boasted decent facilities including a gym, but again, it felt like some areas were lacking in upkeep.
