“A smooth check-in process and a comfortable bed in some rooms hint at the potential, although cleanliness appears inconsistent. One room's all-black shower and another's forgotten trash detract significantly. It's a mixed bag, needing improvements in hygiene to deliver a consistently positive experience.”
