Guest Ratings & Reviews
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. While the room was comfortable and provided good value for the price, it was a bit small and far from the shopping district. The separate rooms for the shower and toilet made the overall space feel cramped.
The hotel rooms were smaller than expected but very comfortable. The service was friendly and helpful, and the location was good, easy to access the city center. The dining experience was standard with a variety of choices. The facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.
