I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was spacious and had a bath but lacked a suitable bed for two, and the strong smell of smoke was off-putting. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist, although the dining options were functional but not outstanding. The location in the city center was convenient, but the price didn't fully match the quality provided.
