The hotel was rather hot even though the heating was not on when we turned it on, and cooling barely helped as the noise from the building's fans made it hard to open the windows. The rooms didn't match the advertised ones and lacked towels.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was pretty good, being close to the city and airport, making it convenient. However, the rooms definitely need an upgrade as they were stuffy and hot. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with some staff being extremely helpful and pleasant. Dining was hit or miss, with some excellent meals but also some misses. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
