Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be conveniently located, with easy access to the city center and nearby attractions. The room had some cleanliness issues and lacked fresh air due to closed windows, but the spacious bar area was a nice touch. The service was helpful and accommodating, offering special deals and assistance with inquiries. The dining experience fell short with some quality issues and noise in the lobby, but the snack menu was a decent option.
