I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were spacious and clean, the air conditioning didn’t seem to keep the room cool enough for my liking. The service from the staff was top-notch, always friendly and willing to help out. However, the location left a lot to be desired; it felt unsafe and not very welcoming, especially arriving late at night. Overall, the hotel had its perks but also some drawbacks that made it not ideal.
