The hotel is truly a gem with its oversized balconies providing a fantastic view, but the Wi-Fi service could be improved. The service is top-notch with attentive staff and quick responses to requests. The location is just out of the city center, offering a quiet retreat yet near enough to downtown. Dining options at Milk & Honey are delightful, though the pricing could be more competitive. The facilities are well-maintained, especially the spa bath which is a real treat.
