My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although clean and with separate beds, was located on the first floor under a club, leading to a noisy night from 11.30 pm to 3.30 am. On the bright side, the bathroom was spotless, and they provided both still and sparkling water as complimentary amenities.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a small kitchen, but the noise from the club below kept me up at night. The service was a bit of a letdown with rude staff, but the location was excellent right downtown. The dining options were okay but could have been better for a 4-star hotel. Overall, it was a decent stay with both positives and negatives to consider.
