“The hotel's unassuming exterior belies a well-maintained and surprisingly charming interior. I found the service friendly and the location, overlooking a city park, remarkably peaceful for a central setting. The breakfast buffet, with its fresh and extensive selection, stood out as particularly enjoyable.”
