I had a pleasant stay at this hotel! The rooms were comfortable, and the staff provided great service. The location was convenient, but the dining experience left a bit to be desired. The facilities were good, and the overall value for money was decent.
The hotel offers a cozy and modern feel with all the amenities, but has shared ensuite bathrooms. The location is top-notch, close to everything in Bright, which is a big plus. The service is excellent, including convenient laundry facilities. However, the dining might not cater to all tastes but serves fresh products.
