Very good, but nothing special.

The room was nice, nothing special. I was surprised that breakfast was an extra charge. The elevators were a bit clunky and smelled of urine, like someone had taken a leak in them. The hallway on the 2nd floor smelled of frying meat in the evening.

It’s been better.

The hotel and staff were very nice. Unfortunately my room did not measure up. Dimly lit, cramped, and unlike all the photos. The shower stall was very narrow and my shoulders barely fit. I do t remember my last visit being like this.
