The hotel fulfilled our booking request for the rooms, which was great. However, the rooms were not as modern as expected and seemed outdated. The service was excellent overall, though we had minor issues with the garbage not being emptied promptly and a misunderstanding about parking charges. The location was very central and convenient, with easy access to cafes, cinemas, and restaurants. The dining options provided were satisfactory. The hotel facilities were basic but sufficient for our needs.
