My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The rooms were spacious and super clean, making my experience feel much more comfortable. The service was impressive, as the staff went out of their way to help with various requests. However, the dining options were a bit limited, especially for breakfast, which was slightly disappointing. Also, while the location was convenient for accessing transportation, it was a bit far from the downtown area. All things considered, the hotel offered great value for money.
