My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were exceptionally clean and quiet, with comfortable beds and a lovely patio. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, and the staff were very attentive. However, the room decor felt more like a hospital with its steel handrails, and the location, while quiet, was only a block away from a busy area.

I was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, and the patio was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, and the staff were really attentive. However, I must admit, the hospital-like room decor with the steel handrails felt a bit odd. Rating it a 8/10.

The hotel surprised me in some aspects but fell short in others. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, but they were not as bright as I had hoped and had a constant noise. The service was efficient but seemed to prioritize other customers over us at check-in. The location was convenient for exploring the area on foot but lacked the expected tranquility at night. The dining options were satisfactory, with good variety but not exceptional. Overall, a mixed experience that had its highlights and drawbacks.
