The hotel room was spacious with a large closet and plenty of counter space, but it was noisy in the morning. The service was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The location was convenient with good amenities, including a kitchen. Dining options were nearby, but the lobby had a hostel-like feeling. Overall, a decent stay with some minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious and well-equipped, but I ended up in a very smoky, smoking room. The service was friendly and helpful, although not very informative about the hotel itself. The location was somewhat difficult to find but had some hidden gem qualities. The dining options were limited, but there were nearby restaurants available. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, although not perfect.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and had a huge desk, perfect for working comfortably. However, the noise at 7am was quite a disturbance. The cleanliness and well-equipped kitchen made me feel right at home. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff. The location might be a bit hidden but is a true gem once you find it. The dining options were adequate but lacked variety. Overall, a great value for the money.
