The hotel has a fantastic location right near major shopping hubs and business areas, making it super convenient. The staff is incredibly friendly and willing to help. On the downside, the dining options were quite limited, and the dinner was not very tasty. Overall, it offers good value for money, but a few improvements in dining could make it even better.

Overall, my stay was a mixed bag. The location was great for my conference, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, my room had a major issue with a leaking bathroom which posed a safety risk. While the amenities were nice and spacious, the dining experience was disappointing with the breakfast not ready on time.
