I had a generally positive experience at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that had everything I needed for my business trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, but the dining options left something to be desired. I loved the location, being close to public transport and local attractions, which made it convenient for exploring the area. However, there were some maintenance issues in the rooms that could be improved.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, which was conveniently located just a short walk from the city center; it was quiet yet accessible. The rooms were clean, but a bit small for my taste, and the service was friendly and responsive. On the downside, the dining experience didn't quite live up to expectations, with breakfast feeling rather ordinary. Overall, it's a good value for money, though I'll admit the smaller dining selection was disappointing.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which boasts a friendly staff and a very convenient location near several attractions and eateries. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, perfect for business travel, though I did notice a broken window lock that was left on the windowsill. The dining options were decent, although nothing too exciting. Overall, it was a good value for money, but the early morning light was a bit annoying due to the short curtains.

However, the dining experience left a little to be desired, and the Wi-Fi wasn't free, which was a bit disappointing for the price I paid.
