My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the check-in process was quick and the decor was decent, the overall condition of the room left much to be desired. The lack of natural light made the room gloomy, and several amenities either didn’t work or were not provided. I wouldn't recommend this place. On the other hand, I've had a better experience at another stay, with clean rooms and decent dining options, making it a more enjoyable visit.
