Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms, though needing updating, were spacious and exceptionally clean. The staff provided excellent service, being both professional and friendly. The location offered convenience to various shopping areas, but I encountered some concerns with the smell of exhaust fumes. The dining experience was satisfying but had room for improvement. Despite some issues, the facilities were adequate for my needs.
