My stay at the Kimpton Lorien was delightful overall, featuring modern accommodations and an inviting courtyard. The staff made me feel truly special, assisting with everything from check-in to dinner reservations. Although the room was compact, it was well-equipped and clean. I particularly enjoyed the wine hour and the relaxing spa services. However, the dining experience at Brabo could offer more variety on the menu, which was a minor drawback. Overall, I felt it was a great value for money based on the services provided.
