Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had some cleanliness issues in the rooms, but overall, they were okay, with comfortable beds and ample tea/coffee available. The service was accommodating and friendly, offering free vouchers for a nearby breakfast spot. The location was convenient, close to a large shopping center and dining options. The dining experience offered a good variety of fresh cooked food, although there were some limitations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were smaller than expected, clean but uncomfortable with poor bedding. On the bright side, the service was outstanding, the location was convenient, and the dining, though limited, was adequate.
The hotel was lovely, comfortable, and clean, although the rooms were smaller than expected and not air-conditioned, which could be uncomfortable in warm weather. The service was really lovely and very helpful, although there were some delays. The location was perfect, not too far from anything and with welcoming staff. The dining experience was perfectly adequate for our needs, and the facilities were well maintained.
