I had a lovely stay at this hotel, experiencing exceptional service and comfortable accommodations. The breakfast was diverse and satisfying, although I felt it was slightly overpriced. The location is convenient, with easy access to downtown attractions. However, the air conditioning unit in my room was a bit noisy at times, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.

The hotel provided a pleasant stay overall, with clean and comfortable accommodations and friendly staff. However, it had some drawbacks, including hidden fees for parking and a dining experience that didn't meet expectations.

This hotel has its highs and lows; the staff was genuinely friendly and made efforts to ensure a pleasant stay, and the bedding was among the best I've experienced on my travels. However, I faced issues with room heating, which led to an inconvenient room switch, and the breakfast options left something to be desired for the price. Overall, it's a decent choice if you find a good deal, but it comes with minor frustrations.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room was clean and the bed comfortable, the hidden parking fee and the uninspiring breakfast left a sour taste. The staff were friendly, and despite some maintenance issues, the hotel had a decent location. However, I wish I'd been made aware of the extra costs upfront.
