My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the location was fantastic, just a short walk to the center where I found plenty of restaurants and shops. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. However, the service was a bit hit or miss, and the dining options left something to be desired with limited choices. Overall, it provided decent value for the price, but there were definitely some areas for improvement.

The hotel had a few positives like the friendly staff and convenient location, but there were some drawbacks, particularly with the rooms that didn't match the pictures and had a stale smoke odor. The service was top-notch, always ready to help, and the breakfast was decent, though not extensive. It was a bit disappointing given the smoke smell in a supposedly non-smoking room.
