The hotel had a nice vibe, with rooms that were pretty and secured by a numpad. The staff were polite and helpful, though the lack of a 24-hour reception was a bit inconvenient. The location is decent, although it felt a bit grungy and commercial. Overall, it's a fair choice if you're looking for value for money.
