My experience at the hotel was mixed. While the price was reasonable and I enjoyed the spaciousness of the suites, there were several frustrations that impacted my stay. Unfortunately, the service felt lacking at times, and the amenities did not live up to the expectations set by the advertisements. I wouldn't say it's the best option out there, but it had its good moments.
