My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, with easy access to nearby attractions and dining options. The rooms were not as clean as expected, and housekeeping was a bit understaffed. Service had its ups and downs, but overall, it was satisfactory. The dining experience left something to be desired, with room for improvement in freshness and variety. Despite these aspects, the hotel offered decent value for money overall.
