I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just steps away from shopping and local restaurants. The staff was welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. However, the rooms lacked windows, which felt a bit suffocating. Also, the noise from the nearby nightclub made it hard to get a good night's sleep. Overall, it’s good value for the price.
