7.6/10

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean and modern rooms that made me feel right at home. The location was very convenient, close to many attractions. The staff was friendly, which added a nice touch to the overall experience. However, I did find the dining options to be a bit lacking, especially at breakfast. And although the pool area was enjoyable, I wished it offered more amenities for relaxation. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for the price!
