"Отличный отель в центре города. Приветливый персонал. Вкусные завтраки. Но если у вас большая машина, с парковкой могут быть сложности"

The Onyx Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"I and my family had a great experience at this hotel. Madalyne helped us with our airport transfer and answered all our questions even before we arrived. All of the front desk and restaurant staff were amazing. Our 2 room suite was awesome and the terrace on the 4th floor is a great place to relax in the evenings!"
