the hotel boasted a fantastic location near key attractions. i found the breakfast offered a decent variety.

The walls seemed quite thin, and i could hear noise from neighboring rooms. the room looked somewhat different from the photos online. It felt smaller than expected.

just okay, i suppose

The bathroom was not clean at all. The shower corners had mold, and there were strange white marks on the walls. the staff didn't really fix it, either.
