I had a great stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms, fantastic customer service, and a convenient location close to the main mall. However, the noise from a Sunday event was a bit disturbing, and the dining options were not included in the price.

The hotel is in a prime location, close to the main mall and city center. The rooms are spacious and clean, with a large fridge but facing the main walkway. The service is top-notch, with fantastic customer service, including timely accommodation of requests. The Italian grilled meat dining experience is delightful. However, the wet clothes in the rooms can be a minor inconvenience.
