I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean and modern, the firm bed wasn't ideal for me. The service was a bit overbearing, which was uncomfortable, but on the plus side, the location was convenient for my needs. Dining options were hit or miss, but overall, I found the place provided decent value for money.
