The hotel is conveniently located near the main attractions, making it easy to explore the area. My room was comfortable, but there were some issues with cleanliness that prevented me from fully enjoying my stay. The check-in process had a slight hiccup due to a time share pitch, which was a bit off-putting. Overall, it's a decent place with room for improvement in cleanliness and details.
