“Recent updates, particularly to the rooms and corridors, inject a fresh energy into the space. Jasmine at reception stands out for her genuine warmth and attentive service, making one feel truly welcomed. Its proximity to local shopping and events, especially during festival seasons, makes it a sensible base.”
