The hotel was clean and fresher looking compared to other places I stay at during business trips, but the rooms felt cramped and uncomfortable for a family. The service was nice but had some issues with reservations. The location was popular with kids and near restaurants, despite some noise. The dining experience was average, with a mix of hot and cold items. The facilities were maintained well.
