The hotel was spotless and impeccably decorated, with bigger bathrooms, a lovely modern style, and a very good size. The staff were so nice and accommodating, exceeding expectations with their friendliness and helpfulness. The location was perfect, within walking distance to many areas of town and several great restaurants. The dining experience was a mix of European style almost like tapas but delicious. Overall, a great stay with some minor dining issues.
