7.2/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were clean but small, and some had a lingering cigarette smell. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some minor issues, and the dining options were a bit hit or miss. The location was convenient, but the view from my room was not ideal.
