Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the rooms were kept very clean, ensuring a good sleep quality, and the location was convenient, close to everything. However, the service was a letdown as the staff seemed extremely rude and lacked basic customer service training. The dining experience, although highlighted by the yummy Pork Belly dish, was somewhat lacking. The facilities were decent, but the service detracted from the overall stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and kept in great condition, providing a wonderful sleep quality.

The facilities were decent, but there were some areas that needed improvement.
