The hotel is nestled in a beautiful area and offers proximity to Solomon's temple. The rooms are spacious and modern with a well-presented breakfast included, although the bath facilities could be more luxurious. The service was friendly, but there could be improvements in efficiency. The location provides easy access to all attractions within walking distance of the town center. The dining experience offers delicious grilled dishes, though slightly overpriced. The facilities are convenient, but lack some amenities found in more luxurious hotels.
