Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were not as spacious as I expected, and the quality was lacking. However, the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful, going out of their way to make my wife's birthday special. The location was convenient for my meetings, but the dining experience left much to be desired with limited options and poor quality dishes.
