I had a decent stay at the hotel with some ups and downs. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a variety of options, and the room itself was comfortable. However, I was quite disappointed with the noise from a generator that kept me awake and the limited dining choices. Overall, it was good value for the price we paid, but some improvements are definitely needed.
