My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms provided a quiet and dark atmosphere, perfect for a good night's sleep, but cleanliness could have been better due to some trash left from a previous guest.

7.8/10

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean and modern, although I did find a couple of pieces of trash left behind by another guest. Despite that, the room was very comfortable, especially the nicely appointed bathroom. The service was extremely helpful, with staff that were kind and always willing to assist. The location was great for my needs, being just minutes away from everything in the city, but it could get quite hot. The dining experience was good, although I felt it was a bit overpriced for what was offered. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor hiccups.
