My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with its location being a major highlight. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. However, the room I had didn't offer a view of the beautiful Temple Concordia, and the price felt a bit steep for what it was. The service was top-notch, but the dining left something to be desired.
