During my stay, I found the hotel to have a great location, making it easy to explore the city. While my room was clean, it felt somewhat small and could have been better maintained. The breakfast options were decent but repetitive. Unfortunately, the service could be improved as some staff members seemed unfriendly. Overall, it was an average experience but with some good aspects, particularly the convenience of the location.

This hotel is a mixed bag. While I found the location really convenient for exploring major landmarks, the service was disappointing and the room I received wasn't as expected. The breakfast options were better than I anticipated, but the overall hotel experience felt below par for a place claiming to be a higher star rating.
