I had a pleasant stay at the hotel overall. It was very clean and the staff were welcoming and efficient, making check-in and check-out quite fast. The breakfast was enjoyable, offering a decent variety. However, I found the dinner options limited and somewhat unsatisfactory. The location was convenient for my needs, but perhaps a little out of the way for others. Parking was affordable, which was a plus.
