“This hotel stands out for its helpful and professional staff who are attentive to detail; however, some found the bar service inconsistent, which is worth noting. The rooms are generally well-received, though cleanliness in the bathrooms could be improved upon arrival. Overall, it's a mixed bag that needs attention to detail.”
