I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which offered a clean and spacious room that made me feel right at home. The views were absolutely stunning, and the location allowed for easy exploration. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as the breakfast wasn't quite as varied as I'd hoped. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for comfort and value without breaking the bank.
