Although the rooms are slightly dated, I would still rate my overall experience very highly because the customer service truly stood out. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed throughout my stay. While the décor and furnishings could benefit from a refresh, the rooms were clean and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable visit. What really makes this hotel special is the team — their friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to help easily deserve a 5-star rating.
