Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel is a gem! The rooms are so cozy and come with a delightful surprise of complimentary soft drinks and mini bar treats. The service here is top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the city center with easy access to all the attractions. Dining was a pleasant experience with included meals and beautiful views. However, the facilities could use a bit of sprucing up, and the dining options were limited.
I couldn't have asked for a better hotel experience! The rooms were stunning, the service was exceptional, and the location was perfect. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired. The facilities were top-notch and added to the overall great stay. Definitely worth the price!

The rooms are cozy and come with complimentary soft drinks in the mini bar, offering a pleasant view onto York Place. The staff goes out of their way to provide exceptional customer service, making you feel truly welcome. However, the dining experience could be enhanced with a wider variety of options.
