My stay at this hotel was quite enjoyable, thanks to its fantastic location right in the center of town. The rooms were spacious and surprisingly quiet despite being on a busy street. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my check-in seamless and even assisting with parking. However, while the value for money was great, the dining options, specifically breakfast, could use some improvement for a more varied selection.
