Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a mixed bag with some highlights but also some drawbacks. The rooms, though showing signs of neglect, offer a decent stay. The service is exceptional, but the location may not suit everyone's preferences. Dining options are varied, and the facilities are generally good.
