My stay at this hotel was somewhat mixed. I appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the overall good condition of the hotel. However, the dining experience fell short with very basic breakfast offerings. While the location is fantastic, right in the center of everything, the service could use some improvement, especially with communication regarding housekeeping.
