The hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were really nice and quite big, but they are in need of a face lift. The service was fantastic, very polite and professional, yet there was a lack of friendliness from the desk staff. The location was convenient with a playground nearby, but it definitely needed a good cleaning. The dining experience was quite good, they had a variety of food items, but the breakfast options were not so hot. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
