I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was excellent, just off the main square, and the rooms were clean and comfortable, I encountered some significant issues with the service and facilities. The bathroom was adequate but nothing special, and the whole experience was affected by the inconvenience of room management and availability. They did offer complimentary meals which showed a willingness to make amends, but overall, it was quite disappointing.

I had a very mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were polite and the check-in process was quick, the room left much to be desired. It was quite dated and I was initially frustrated with having to switch rooms due to availability issues. However, the presence of an Indian restaurant on-site somewhat made up for this, even if my overall experience was disappointing.

The room was dated with saggy single beds, and the décor was far from inviting. Unfortunately, this didn't live up to the expectations set when booking.
