The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location was convenient with easy access to various restaurants and shopping centers.

I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The rooms, though a bit aged, were surprisingly very clean and ideal for those with allergies. However, the lack of wall decor was noticeable. The bath tub provided both relaxing moments and the convenience of washing clothes.

6.2/10

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the location was great, close to many restaurants and shopping centers, but the noise from the street made it hard to sleep or relax, and the lack of kitchen facilities was disappointing as I couldn't even make a cup of tea.

Rooms

5.0

The room I was given faced the street, so there was a lot of noise that made it difficult to sleep and rest. Additionally, there was a strong smell resembling an old wet mop. The kitchenette facilities were available, but without pans, crockery, or cutlery, rendering them useless.

Service

9.0

The service at the hotel was impeccable. The staff were extremely nice and professional, making the experience pleasant despite the room issues.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location was convenient, close to various restaurants, shopping centers, and other attractions like the beach and national parks. However, the parking situation was unsafe, with travelers having to park on the street due to limited spots.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was a mixed bag. Although the service needed improvement, the availability of breakfast options was limited. Paying extra for a broader selection seemed inconvenient.

Facilities

The facilities at the hotel were subpar. The absence of kitchen essentials and the parking challenges detracted from a comfortable stay.
