I had a lovely stay at this hotel, right in the center of a charming park next to a serene pond. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, but there were a few minor issues with the service. The dining options were delightful, particularly the Manchego ratatouille, which was a highlight for me. However, while the amenities were decent, the Wi-Fi did come at an extra cost, which was a bit inconvenient.
