9.2/10 Wonderful! (11 reviews)
The hotel is clean, modern, and well-located, and the staff were great. However, for the price, it felt underwhelming. The renovation looks good visually, but many of the materials and finishes felt a bit cheap or superficial.
Overall, it’s fine, but doesn’t quite justify the premium pricing.
