The hotel is conveniently located close to a music venue where I enjoyed live performances within walking distance. The room, although small, was comfortable and equipped with all necessary amenities. However, being situated above the music venue made it extremely loud during weekend events. The service, particularly for wedding arrangements, was top-notch. The location is ideal for those looking to explore the downtown area and indulge in the dining offerings, especially at the Grill section of the restaurant. The dining experience, with a diverse menu including fresh seafood and various meat dishes, was exceptional. The hotel provides home-made sweets that add a special touch. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a pleasant stay overall.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel; the room was beyond my expectations, but the noise from the music venue downstairs was a major issue.
