I recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a satisfactory experience. The room was generally clean, providing a comfortable space for relaxation. However, I did encounter a noticeable issue with the mattress, which had a significant stain. This was a bit concerning but other than that, the cleanliness of the room was commendable. Hopefully, this issue will be addressed promptly to enhance the guest experience. I would consider staying here again if this concern is rectified.

The rooms are very nice and comfy. The only thing I have to complain about is that the room I was in did not have a microwave, and in the morning we had a coffee pot but no coffee to brew; I only had tea bags. Other than that, the room was pretty nice.
