Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were large, comfortable, and clean, with a nice bathroom, but the air conditioning was faulty, making it uncomfortably hot at times. The service was polite and accommodating, though improvements could be made in some areas. The location was quiet and convenient for shopping but lacked some attention to detail. The dining offered a diverse menu but had some room for improvement. Overall, a decent stay with ups and downs.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and tidy, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep, although the room temperature was too hot to adjust. However, we had to switch rooms due to a shower issue.
The hotel had some noticeable drawbacks such as worn-out rooms in need of a refurb, but we also found some positives. The service was a mix of friendly and competent staff along with some areas needing improvement. While the location was convenient and easily accessible, there were some issues with the dining experience that could have been better.
