Staff here are consistently noted for their friendliness and helpfulness, even going the extra mile during service hours. While the building itself holds historical charm, some areas, like the bathrooms, reflect its vintage, yet the overall cleanliness and recent decoration in many spaces are commendable, particularly considering the value.”
