My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. While I found the rooms spacious and clean, I faced some challenges with service and dining options. The noise during the mornings was quite bothersome, but the location was decent for exploring the area, and the parking rates weren't outrageous compared to nearby options.

Rooms
8.0
The room was spacious and clean, although the carpet felt a bit worn. Overall, it was still comfortable and provided a good night's sleep.
Service
6.0
The service was inconsistent. Some staff members were helpful, but my check-in experience felt a bit cold and unwelcoming. I did appreciate the quick response for extra towels.
Location
7.0
The location was fairly central, making it easy to walk to attractions and access public transport. However, it wasn't as serene as I would have liked due to street noise.
Dining
5.0
The dining options were quite limited, with the breakfast not included and lacking variety. It would have been nice to have more convenient and tasty breakfast selections.
Facilities
6.0
The facilities were decent, with a nice fitness area, though the restaurant options fell short of expectations as it wasn't open for a proper meal.
