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.

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.
