Though some initial room issues were reported regarding advertised amenities and cleanliness at breakfast, they seem to be outliers; the basics of spacious, clean rooms and comfortable bedding are generally well maintained. The hotel's proximity to the Star City Entertainment Complex adds convenience, especially for families seeking nearby leisure options.”
