I had a rough stay at this hotel. The lobby looked impressive, but that’s where the positives end. The room was large but had old furniture and uncomfortable pillows. The bathroom was too cramped, and there was an unpleasant smell at times. The staff didn’t seem very helpful, making my experience frustrating overall. I can't recommend this place, as it didn't meet my expectations for comfort.
