Bristol Palace Hotel
Clean Room, a bit noisy, but not too much. The restaurant and bar are lovely, and Ivan, the bartender, remembered me from two years ago! The hotel could use a refreshing, but I love the vintage vibe! Will definitely stay here again!

Hotel De Ville
Great hotel, spacious, friendly and welcoming staff, I had a pleasant stay. One remark, the noise isolation is not great so you feel any doors rattle outside, which is quite loud. But I had a great time and appreciate the stuff. Thank you.
