Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very small and had a back alley view overlooking a loud party room with a wedding reception, but the beds were comfortable with plenty of tea and coffee available. I paid extra for a comfy bed.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room setup I requested was perfect – so comfortable and clean. Staying in the club room was a luxurious experience with a very generous-sized and extremely comfortable bed. The service was top-notch, with very friendly and helpful staff; however, there was a slight language barrier with some employees. The location was convenient, especially with a bus stop right outside, although a car or taxi was necessary to explore further. Dining was a delight with a variety of delicious options, though there were a few hiccups. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic amenities and a wonderful experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and tidy, but not very comfy. The size was great, and it was beautifully decorated with a big, cozy bed. However, the service was lacking in care despite being a repeat guest, and I was disappointed by the lack of gestures to make up for inconveniences. The location was convenient for those with cars and those moving to the nearby college, but not ideal for those without transportation.
