I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortably spacious, with great quality beds and a nice bathroom, which made my stay clean and comfortable. However, the location was a letdown as it's in a run-down part of town with some unsettling activities happening around. The service was friendly and helpful, but the dining options could be more varied.

The hotel provided us with extra pillows, blankets, towels, and even a fan to use; all employees were friendly. The room was clean, spacious, with a good amount of seating, a desk, and a comfortable bed. However, the area next door seemed run down, making it less appealing at night.

The hotel offers superbly clean and well-equipped rooms with a plethora of restaurant options nearby. The service is top-notch, with extremely helpful and accommodating staff. Although a bit far out for some, the location is good and close to necessary amenities. The dining experience, while including both continental and hot food options, may need improvement in service efficiency. Overall, the hotel provides excellent value for money.
