Arriving late, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm and welcoming room prepared for us, complete with a tray of fruit. The location is conveniently close to everything without the noise of the main avenue. The dining experience was above expectations, with ample and satisfying options available. However, there was a slight inconvenience with the lack of soap and shampoo in the bathroom, though understandable given the room rate.
