5.0/10

The hotel was much larger than expected but the rooms were battered and tired, with cabinets hanging off hinges and no doors. It wasn't very clean. The location was excellent, right in the center of everything, but the loud surroundings could be a drawback. Service had its ups and downs with friendly and helpful staff but also encounters with rudeness from the management. The dining experience felt like being in an old people's home, offering burnt and hard food. The price for some services was reasonable, but the extra charges for parking were disappointing.

The hotel was a total letdown in terms of room conditions, with old and scratched furniture, an uncomfortable bed with only one thin pillow, and an awaiting refund issue that's taking too long to resolve. However, the service provided was friendly and helpful, though some staff interactions turned unpleasant due to evasive explanations. The location was decent for business but lacked cleanliness in certain areas. Despite these downsides, the dining experience offered good value, and the facilities were satisfactory overall.

The main issue was the disturbance caused by other guests, including loud noises in the corridors at odd hours and a strong smell of cannabis.
