The hotel had a mix of great and not-so-great elements. The rooms looked newly tiled and renovated, but unfortunately felt like a sauna despite efforts to cool them down. They were quite outdated and could use a facelift soon. On a positive note, I was pleasantly surprised to find chocolates, a dessert plate, and a card from the staff waiting for me - a nice touch.
