We recently stayed at this hotel and while the check-in was smooth and the room outstandingly clean, the dining experience didn't live up to our expectations. The restaurant menu had its ups and downs, with some tasty options but others that left much to be desired. The overall experience was enjoyable, thanks to the lovely room and the hotel dimensions, but I would consider dining elsewhere in the future.

I had an overall enjoyable stay with some highlights and a few areas where improvements could be made. The comfort of the beds was definitely a plus, and the location was convenient for local attractions. However, the dining experience could benefit from fresher breakfast offerings and a bit more attentiveness from the staff during peak times.
