I've just come back from a stay at this hotel, and I have to say, the location is unbeatable with a ton of great restaurants nearby. The room was clean and quite comfortable, but it lacked some of the luxurious touches I was hoping for. The staff was friendly and willing to help, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, I was a bit let down by the limited dining options and higher price for Wi-Fi. Overall, it's decent, but there are a few things that could definitely be improved.
