I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its excellent staff and clean, comfortable rooms. The location was very convenient with easy access to public transport and nearby attractions. However, I found the breakfast to be overpriced and the dining experience left a bit to be desired. The lack of air conditioning in the room was a downside, as it got a bit stuffy at times.

The hotel had its ups and downs during my stay. The rooms were quite spacious, providing enough room to relax, but they desperately needed a thorough cleaning and an update overall. Service was inconsistent; I faced an unexplainable payment issue upon check-in that threw off my first impression. On the positive side, the location offered a quick drive to key attractions, making exploring easy, though the food options were a letdown. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for basic accommodations but expect some hiccups.

My recent stay was decent, with well-presented rooms and friendly service. However, I ran into some issues with the extractor fan and parking availability in the evening, which could be improved. The next-door restaurant offered good meals, and the public transport options nearby are a big plus. Overall, it was a solid choice, but there are some things that could make it better.
