7.2/10

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, the dining experience left something to be desired, and I felt the pricing was not very transparent. The staff was attentive, adding a nice touch to the experience, but I wouldn't return based on the value for money alone.

Rooms

Service

The staff was helpful, especially when I stored my bags at departure, but I was a bit disappointed that the complimentary water wasn't in my room.

Location

The hotel is perfectly located for easy access to restaurants and attractions, allowing us to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go during our stay.

Dining

5.0

The dining options could use some improvement, as the breakfast didn't quite match my expectations.
