The hotel had a decent location, being only a 5-10 minute walk into town, which was very convenient. The rooms were fairly comfortable but quite cramped and unfortunately had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. The service was polite but not very helpful when I needed directions. However, the dining experience was surprisingly good, with fresh and tasty meals. Overall, it was decent for the price, but the room conditions and service left a bit to be desired.
