My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious and filled with amenities, including a much-appreciated bathtub. However, the downside was the inability to have breakfast in the dining room without an additional charge, and the view from the clouded windows was disappointing. On the plus side, the hotel featured a locked door connecting to another room, providing a sense of security.
