The hotel is situated in a prime location, close to many attractions. The rooms are clean and spacious, but I experienced quite a bit of noise from the elevator. The staff was incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome right from check-in. Unfortunately, the dining experience could use some improvement with limited breakfast options. Despite this, I found the overall stay to provide good value for money.

I had a great stay overall! The room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast was superb. The staff were friendly and welcoming, creating a nice atmosphere. However, there was a strong odor coming from the bathroom sink, which was quite unpleasant. Also, I didn't get the room type I booked, which was a little disappointing.

I had a nice stay overall. The rooms were clean and had a decent-sized bathroom, which was great for my family. The staff was really friendly and helpful but there was a bit of a hiccup when someone walked into my room without knocking. The location is perfect-close to a lot of popular spots, even though I felt a bit unsafe after dark. The breakfast was quite good, but parking was limited, making it a bit tricky. Overall, I think it's decent value for the price.
