I stayed at this hotel and loved its central location, making it easy to explore the city. The room was comfortable and had a nice atmosphere, but I did wish for a bit more attention to cleanliness. The service was good overall, though I had some hiccups with the dining experience. The amenities were decent, but parking could be a hassle at times. Overall, it was a good stay, but there's definitely room for improvement.
