“I found the restaurant downstairs to be a real asset, serving up remarkably good food that made winding down after a day's travel effortless. The rooms, I noted, are thoughtfully appointed with a real comfort in mind, particularly the bedding and the rather impressive rain showers. Its position is quite strategic, offering straightforward bus connections both to the airport and into the city center, which proved quite convenient.”
