I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. While the location was convenient and the room was spacious and clean, the service really let the place down. I encountered several issues, such as a lack of responsiveness from staff and some cleanliness concerns in the room. Overall, it had potential but didn't quite meet expectations.
