    The pool is a great spot to relax. The food is good and varied with many options for breakfast and dinner. The staff is polite and welcoming.

    The rooms are dated and overpriced. The Wi-Fi connection is slow and the public spaces need updating.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this luxurious 4-star hotel and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. The location of this place is perfect, right on the main street, making it very convenient to explore the surrounding area during the evening. Furthermore, it is not far from the airport, which is great for those who have early morning or late-night flights.

    In conclusion, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay. With its prime location, quality services, and excellent facilities, this place truly exceeded my expectations.

    The rooms were spacious and comfortable with excellent amenities such as free Wi-Fi, making my business trip that much easier. the hotel's central location provides easy access to shops and eateries. Finally, the pool was a nice perk, offering a relaxing environment after a long day.

    The hotel was overpriced, and the breakfast was not up to par with the cost charged. the corridors had a strange smell and the old carpeting and dim lighting made for a less than ideal experience.

    Free airport shuttle was provided and staff were polite and accommodating. The location was central and convenient for exploring the city. A nice variety of food was offered.

    The hotel was in desperate need of renovation with overly dated rooms and uncomfortable beds. The bathrooms lacked basic amenities and the hot water was unreliable.
