I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and in good condition with a shared bathroom, though having a microwave and fridge would have been convenient. The service was satisfactory, but I didn't notice any particular standout features. The location was decent, being near the city center. The dining experience was acceptable, but I would have enjoyed more variety. The facilities were sufficient, but nothing extraordinary.
