My recent stay was quite an experience. While I appreciated the staff's efforts to keep things tidy, the rooms left much to be desired, with a persistent unpleasant odor and some cleanliness issues. The location was pretty convenient, and I enjoyed the easy access to nearby attractions. However, the dining options were somewhat confusing, making for a less enjoyable experience overall.
