    Mostly praised as very clean across multiple reviews (rooms and public areas). Minor issues noted like grout/hard-water stains in showers.

  • Room Quality9.2

    Rooms described as spacious, recently remodeled in places, comfortable beds and a highly praised penthouse; minor maintenance comments only.

    Overall positive—many guests would return, praising location, cleanliness and staff; overall experience is tempered by inconsistent food/service and occasional noise.

  • Value for Money9.0

    Generally seen as good value with accessible restaurant prices and good quality for price; a few guests felt service issues reduced perceived value.
