The hotel room was decent in size, clean, and comfortable, providing a quiet stay. However, it lacked character and felt a bit dated with uncoordinated decor. The service was a mix of unwelcoming encounters but friendly and accommodating interactions. The location, while central, had parking costs that elevated the overall expense. The dining experience ranged from underwhelming to excellent, and the facilities were sufficient.
