I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and well-equipped with a large TV, fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. It could have been a bit cleaner, but overall, it was comfortable and good value for money. The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to assist, although I did face a minor key issue. The location was convenient though not scenic, and the dining experience was average with room for improvement in breakfast options.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were modern and spacious but had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The service was friendly and efficient but only okay at the welcoming. The location was convenient for my plans but situated in a sketchy area. The dining options were good with a variety available, especially at the breakfast buffet.
