My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit old school, and unfortunately, mine was located above a lively evening wedding function, making it hard to get any sleep. However, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location was perfect for my needs. The dining experience left something to be desired with disorganization and slow service, but the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is in a nice location, but it could use some TLC to freshen up. The rooms are spacious and convenient for unpacking clothes, but the noise from neighboring properties can be a distraction. The friendly and attentive staff make the stay memorable, but the dining experience could be improved with faster service and better food choices.
