Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although clean and comfortable, had a lingering cigarette smell, which was a downside. The service, while mostly helpful, fell short in providing extras when needed. The location was decent, but a bit far from the city center. The dining experience was good but missed including complementary breakfast. Overall, a stay with some drawbacks but some redeeming qualities too.
The hotel had some cleanliness issues in the rooms, with a strong smell resembling cigarettes and drainage, making the stay uncomfortable. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was good but a bit far from the city center. The dining experience was average, not including complimentary breakfast.
