This hotel offers a mix of positive and negative experiences. The staff is dedicated and helpful, making for an enjoyable stay, while the remodeling of common areas slightly detracted from the overall appeal. The breakfast options were adequate, though not overly exciting. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, perfect for a comfortable stay, but some issues with amenities could be improved.
