The hotel was suitable for an overnight stay but felt old and tired, needing a refresh. There was a noticeable burnt smell in the room. The location was convenient with a supermarket nearby and in the city center, offering easy access to various places. The dining experience was enjoyable with tasty food options. The pool area seemed promising for a summer visit.

My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and tidy, offering a comfortable stay, although the bed could have been more comfortable. It would be nice if in-house guests could have their rooms serviced before non-rented ones. The hotel may need some redecoration but was clean and functional.
