5.8/10

My experience at this hotel was disappointing overall. The location was convenient, close to attractions and restaurants, but the state of the rooms really let me down. The bathroom wasn't cleaned properly and had visible mold. Additionally, there were maintenance issues that needed urgent attention. While the breakfast offered some good options, it couldn't make up for the shortcomings in the facilities and cleanliness.
