My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly. However, the dining experience left room for improvement with limited breakfast options. The location was convenient, but there were some issues with guest congestion at the breakfast bar. Overall, a good value for the money.
