My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms felt aged and somewhat dirty, and the bathroom definitely needed some updating. On the positive side, the hotel is conveniently situated in the center, and we loved the separate living area for the kids. The lack of air conditioning while we were out made the room too damp for comfort.

The rooms were tired, and some updating is definitely needed.

Service

5.0

While the staff were great and very friendly, the service at breakfast was a letdown. We arrived at 9:30 to find the gate closed, and the display with my kids' blankets and dolls was unsettling.

Location

7.0

The location was very near to the city center, which was convenient. However, given the price and the area, I would have appreciated the choice to change locations.

Dining

The dining options were limited, especially for those staying multiple nights. The complimentary breakfast could use more variety.

Facilities

The facilities were average; nothing particularly stood out during my stay.
