I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was pretty good, with easy access to major attractions. However, the dining experience could have been better with more variety and the facilities, while nice, weren't quite luxurious. Overall, it’s decent value for money but not the best I've experienced.
