I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions and the staff was incredibly friendly, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the room I was in had issues with cleanliness and the breakfast did not meet my expectations. Overall, there's great value for money, but some improvements are definitely needed.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was very comfortable and I appreciated being on the bottom floor since I had my small dog with me. The location was convenient for visiting family nearby, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the room had a strange smell, and there was an issue with the cleanliness of the bathroom that affected my overall experience.
