I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with clean and comfortable accommodations, and the friendly staff made my experience even better. The location was convenient, close to major attractions, but the neighborhood felt a bit rough at times. While the breakfast had a few good options, it could have been more diverse. Overall, I think it's a fair value for the price.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is situated in a rather unappealing neighborhood but still close to many sites of interest. The staff was friendly and always willing to assist. The rooms were decent; however, I felt they could use a little more modern touch. The dining options were nice, especially with the gluten-free products available, and the overall value for money was pretty good.
