My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and well-presented, although a bit small with an overpowering smell of cigarette smoke throughout.

The dining experience left much to be desired, with poor quality food and limited options. Overall, a mixed experience with some positive and negative aspects to consider.
