The hotel offers a convenient location right by the bus station and city center, which I truly appreciated for easy travel. My room was clean and well-kept, although I was surprised it didn't look like the photos online and lacked windows. Service was notably polite and I appreciated the personal touch of an in-person wake-up call. However, the breakfast selection felt rather limited and could have been more varied to enhance the experience.
