I recently stayed at this hotel and overall it was a pretty good experience. The location is fantastic, just a short drive to nearby attractions and restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but I did face a bit of a hiccup during check-in due to some miscommunication with the requests. Although the dining options were decent, I found the breakfast buffet to be a bit overpriced for what was offered. Despite some minor issues, I enjoyed my stay and would consider returning.
