Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a prime area, conveniently close to shops and eateries. I found the rooms to be clean and quite spacious, which was great. The service, unfortunately, was not up to par and left a lot to be desired. The dining options were pretty basic. Overall, it was decent value for money, but some areas definitely need improvement.
I had a pretty disappointing stay at this hotel. While the location is convenient and close to shops, the service was lacking and really affected my experience. The rooms were acceptable but nothing special. Overall, it didn't quite offer the value for money I expected.

However, I found the service to be lacking, and the dining options could definitely use improvement. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are definitely some areas for improvement.
I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have a great atmosphere, with clean and spacious rooms. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made my experience pleasant. However, I did encounter some issues with the service and the location was a bit noisy due to the trucks passing by. The overall value for money was decent, but there are definitely areas that could use improvement.
I had a decent stay overall, with the hotel being in a great location right in the heart of town, close to shops. The rooms were clean, though they could use a bit more comfort. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired, which was quite disappointing. The dining options were very limited as well, but I appreciated the fresh sandwiches available. It’s a convenient spot for exploring, though not the best if you're looking for top-notch service.
