      cozy suite
      dreamy bed
      robe-less experience

      Absolutely loved the enchanting suite! Super cozy with a dreamy bed and a spacious bath—plus the coffee bar was a delightful touch!

      No robes? I didn’t realize I had to summon them like a wizard! And parking here was like a game of musical chairs, but with tickets.

      cozy suite
      attentive staff
      occasional disturbances
      need for soundproofing
      limited dining options

      The Signature Suite offered a cozy, spacious retreat with an amazing bed, and the bathroom had ample counter space. The breakfast of warm croissants, alongside delicious fresh fruit, was a delightful surprise that appeared quietly each morning. Friendly and attentive staff enhanced the experience, ensuring a top-notch stay with super clean surroundings. However, the room could benefit from a bit more soundproofing since there were occasional disturbances from outside.

      would come again

      The room was cozy and enchanting, with a super comfy bed that felt like a cloud. The spacious bathroom had plenty of counter space. Enjoyed the breakfast with warm croissants and fresh juices that appeared quietly in the lounge. The location is walkable to Market Square, and the staff were really nice.

      The room was divine—cozy and enchanting like a hidden treasure chest. The bed? Oh, it was more welcoming than a puppy after a long day! Breakfast was the cherry on top, with warm croissants appearing like magic in the lounge, and the bathroom was spacious enough to practice my dance moves.

      easy check-in
      welcoming room
      disorganized breakfast
      no coffee

      I found it easy to check in and liked the desserts offered at night. The room felt welcoming, and I appreciated the convenience of being close to popular attractions. My background as a single traveler makes me value accessibility and comfort, which I found here.

      The breakfast was somewhat disorganized, and there was no coffee available during the morning hours. This caused some confusion that could have been avoided with better communication.
