The hotel is located on a busy street but surprisingly quiet at night, which made my stay comfortable. The rooms were clean and ready well ahead of check-in time. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my stay enjoyable. However, the breakfast was quite disappointing as the options were very limited, and the dining area felt cramped.
