Zest Boutique Hotel truly impressed me with its stylish ambiance and excellent service, although a few minor flaws kept it from perfection. The room was comfortable and well-furnished, yet some issues with maintenance were noted. The location was fantastic, providing easy access to local attractions, though I did encounter some inconveniences during my stay.
