I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, with plenty of dining options nearby, but the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. While the staff was generally helpful, I faced some challenges during my stay, particularly regarding the state of the furniture and bathroom. I appreciated the rooftop pool, but the overall value seemed off compared to what I expected.
