The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with modern decor, making for a comfortable stay. The staff were generally helpful and welcoming, but there were some delays in service during peak hours. The location is convenient, providing easy access to local attractions, but can get a bit noisy due to nearby traffic. Overall, the value for money is decent, though I felt the dining options could use some improvement in variety.
