Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms, they were bigger than I expected and in excellent shape. The equipment in the rooms was top-notch. The hotel is unique, offering a clean and excellent accommodation. However, the price was a bit higher than average, and I wished they had more special offers or loyalty programs. The rooms were a little outdated but overall comfortable.
