“What strikes me most is its blend of historical architecture with genuinely modern comfort. Its location offers proximity to both shopping districts and local dining, so it's very central; plus, the on-site casino adds an unexpected entertainment option. This creates a stay that balances convenience with a dash of excitement.”
