6.8/10

I had a decent stay overall, as the hotel is nestled in a cool spot at the heart of town with a fantastic pool area. The rooms, however, left much to be desired; the furniture was damaged, and the pillows were quite small and not very useful. The service varied, with some staff being friendly while others seemed clueless and unhelpful. The dining options weren't the best for my two-day stay, which was disappointing. The price was reasonable in relation to the location but not so much for the quality of the rooms.

The dining options were somewhat limited, which would have been nice for our two-day stay, especially for breakfast.
