“The hotel caters to both business and family stays, though a few operational issues need attention. I noted mentions of non-functional safes and window latches, alongside breakfast service quirks; these would need resolving for a seamless experience. It seems like a practical choice for a brief overnight stay, especially considering the budget.”
