I was really looking forward to my stay at this hotel, especially because it had a good reputation. While the location was solid and the rooms were spacious, there were some significant downsides, including cleanliness issues and a frustrating restaurant experience. The value for money wasn't great, especially given the parking troubles we encountered. Overall, the hotel has potential but left a lot to be desired.

I was quite disappointed with my stay at the hotel. While the location was convenient and the staff polite, the condition of the rooms was concerning with stained carpets and crayon marks on the walls. I had issues with amenities like room service and consistent wake-up calls. On the plus side, the hotel was quiet, which I appreciated during my stay, but overall, it didn't live up to the promises made during booking.

The location was convenient for shopping and dining, which was a huge plus. However, my friend had a rougher experience due to renovations and shuttle service issues. Overall, I found it a good value for money considering the parking included for my trip.
