The hotel has a nice atmosphere and some friendly staff, but the cleanliness of the facilities and the dining experience left much to be desired. I encountered multiple issues during my stay, including unclean rooms and unsatisfactory food options. The hotel is under renovation, which may explain some of the problems, but it was still disappointing overall.

However, the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired, and there were some maintenance issues that affected our comfort.

Overall, my stay was decent but the hotel had its ups and downs. While the staff provided welcoming service and the room was clean, I found the noise levels from the air conditioning and fridge a bit disruptive. The breakfast was satisfactory, but nothing to rave about. The on-site restaurant had its highlights, particularly the broasted chicken, which I absolutely loved.
