The hotel rooms were quite disappointing due to cleanliness issues, lack of basic amenities, and worn-out decor, especially room 260; however, the location was convenient despite some cleanliness concerns. The service was lacking in communication and professionalism, predominantly due to language barriers. The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited options and timing issues. The facilities were satisfactory overall, with some room for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.

The hotel looked bigger in the photos, but the actual rooms were dated and not as depicted on the website. Despite this, they were clean, well presented, and comfortable. The location was very good, only a block from the waterfront but a bit far from downtown; however, it was close to everything. The dining experience was disappointing with limited breakfast options. The hotel had some basic facilities but could use improvements. It seemed like the establishment was undergoing changes since the new owners took over.
