Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were tiny and very dirty, but eventually, I got a comfortable room with the help of the elevator which made it more convenient. However, the original room had two of the least comfortable beds I've ever experienced.
The hotel rooms were quite disappointing, with cleanliness issues and poor soundproofing. On the bright side, the service was excellent and staff were friendly. The location was convenient, but a bit noisy due to nearby activities. The dining experience needed improvement, though the staff were courteous. Overall, decent value for the price.
