I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient, making it easy to explore the area. However, the rooms really need a renovation, as they felt a bit dated and were not cleaned to a stellar standard. Overall, while I appreciated the friendly service and location, I wish the rooms had been in better shape.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel due to its friendly staff and great service, which made for a pleasant experience overall. The location is quite convenient, especially being close to the airport, but the room needed a bit more attention when it came to cleanliness and maintenance. The dining options were limited, which was a letdown. For the price, it felt like there could be some improvements, particularly in the dining area and room condition.
