My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing, especially considering its previous reputation. While the room renovations looked fresh, the bathroom felt outdated, and I was disturbed by a constant noise throughout the night. The breakfast had a good variety, but many items weren't ready by the time I arrived, which is a letdown for a business hotel. Overall, I don't think I'll be returning for my next trip.

I had high hopes for this hotel, especially since it was formerly a Holiday Inn. While the rooms were newly renovated and decent, the overall experience fell short. The outdated bathroom fixtures and disruptions during the night made it hard to enjoy my stay. Breakfast offered a good variety, but the timing was a letdown, as not everything was ready by the 6:30 AM start time, which is really inconvenient for business travelers. Overall, I don't think I'll choose this hotel again for my next trip.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The hotel's renovation seemed to only cover the rooms while leaving the bathrooms outdated. Additionally, I encountered an annoying noise that disturbed my sleep all night. The breakfast options were good, but the timing and readiness were frustrating since I had to wait for several items after the official start time. Overall, I don't think I'll return for my next business trip.

My stay at the hotel was quite underwhelming. Despite a recent renovation, the rooms were not as impressive as I expected, especially with the outdated bathroom facilities. The breakfast offered a good variety, but it was frustrating that some stations weren't ready by the start time. Additionally, an annoying sound throughout the night really hindered my sleep. I don't think I'll return for my next business trip.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but I ended up disappointed. The hotel recently underwent renovations, yet many areas still felt outdated and in need of attention. While there were some breakfast options, they were not ready when guests needed them early in the morning, which was quite frustrating. I also had quite a noisy night, which kept me from getting a good rest. It's unfortunate because I expected more given the hotel's previous reputation.
