I had a really nice stay at this hotel, thanks to its clean and spacious rooms and the pleasant atmosphere. The hotel offers a good range of amenities, making it a good value for the price. However, I did find the dining options a bit lacking, especially for breakfast. Also, I wish the Wi-Fi had been complimentary instead of an additional charge.
