My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The room was clean and orderly with nice amenities, but the strong moldy smell was quite a downside. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was convenient for exploring downtown and nearby areas. The dining experience left much to be desired in terms of variety. Overall, a decent stay with some highlights and room for improvement.
