9Verified guest“Stayed here for a weekend in this new hotel – great spot. The AC kept the room cool, and the amenities looked impressive even though I didn't use them. The room was modern with a balcony and lots of closet space. The washer/dryer was handy, and the gym was well-equipped. Walking distance to the train station and sights, yet it felt quiet. Would definitely return.”
