“The Mecklen Hotel impresses with its dedicated staff and commitment to cleanliness, particularly noted in the breakfast service. Its location proves convenient for accessing both restaurants and the PNC Pavilion. However, the quality of the breakfast buffet may not meet all expectations, contrasting with the otherwise positive aspects of the stay.”
