Guests consistently praised the hotel's location, noting its proximity to the city center and the abundant greenery surrounding it. The service received high marks for being friendly and welcoming, while cleanliness was also frequently highlighted. Breakfast was described as hearty and varied, adding to the positive dining experience.
