I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, where the rooms were not only clean but also provided a great level of comfort. The staff treated me exceptionally well, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout my visit. While the dining experience at the restaurant was decent, I found that breakfast options could use a bit more variety. The spa facilities were luxurious and quite impressive, making it a relaxing getaway. Overall, it's a solid choice, but I do wish the Wi-Fi was complimentary instead of an extra charge, which was a mild inconvenience.
