The hotel’s location is quite strategic, being close to various public facilities and dining options. The room was nice, and the staff were very friendly. However, the quality of the linens, particularly the blanket, felt rather rough and uncomfortable to use for sleeping. Even after requesting a replacement, the linens still felt coarse and not soft. In addition, the breakfast selection was limited, and the taste was very standard, with nothing particularly special.
