Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's fantastic location and cleanliness, with many noting the comfort of the beds. However, there were significant complaints regarding the service, particularly during busy times like breakfast, and some guests felt that the hotel was understaffed. Overall, while the hotel has many positive attributes, improvements in service and amenities are needed to enhance the guest experience.
