The hotel's rooms were not in great condition, feeling dated and cramped, but they were sparkling clean as they are going through a refurbishment. The noise from the nearby road was a downside. The service provided varied greatly from unprofessional and unhelpful to amazing and perfect. The location was convenient, with some good nearby amenities and recent refurbishments. The dining experience was consistently of high quality, and the facilities, although not detailed, seemed satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The room, although small and a bit dated, had comfy beds and pillows. The service was a bit slow initially but turned out to be incredibly welcoming and nice. The location was convenient for parking and exploring nearby attractions, but some food options were limited due to unforeseen circumstances. The dining experience was decent, with a self-service style breakfast that was satisfactory. Overall, a stay with some ups and downs.
