I had a pretty decent experience at the hotel overall. It was spacious and offered good value for the price, but there were a few issues like the cleanliness of the bathroom and a slight smell in the room. The service from the staff was excellent though, and they really took care of us, especially when we had a lock problem. It's located close to everything, which is a huge plus.
