Star Service "This hotel, with a 14-foot tower of sleeping rooms and a light-filled atrium lobby dotted with bright-red leather seating that extends across the two buildings, is a mecca for big groups." Full review
Star Service "Close to the main bus station, at the top of the shopping street, and a five-minute drive from the city center, this hotel provides good service and quiet accommodations at moderate prices." Full review
