My stay at the hotel was great overall. The rooms were fine, with a very comfortable bed, lovely soft pillows, and a good hot shower. The location was fantastic for exploring the area, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. However, there was occasional cigarette smoke smell and some room cleanliness issues. The dining options were nice, but not exceptional.
