I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with clean and spacious rooms. The atmosphere felt very comfortable, and the staff made me feel at home. However, the dining options could use some improvement, and the Wi-Fi connection was a bit spotty at times. Overall, it’s a good value for a comfortable getaway.
