The hotel room was spacious for 2 adults and 2 children, with adequate facilities, but lacking storage for clothes and suitcases. The service was mixed, with some staff showing care, while others lacked a customer-focused approach. The location was convenient, being near the city center with pleasant views and access to the leisure center. The dining experience varied in quality, with some dishes being delicious but others disappointing. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory but could be improved.
