Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had mixed experiences, with a convenient location near the airport complex and shopping complex but with some room issues like noise at night and dated decor. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were some gaps in preparation indicated by the lack of water and clean towels. The dining experience was decent but slow service for simple orders like eggs. Overall, a decent option with room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms, but my only complaint was that my breakfast was served cold. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends.
The hotel had a perfect room especially outside our rooms. The service was very friendly, nice location. Dinner was a feast; rooms were clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend the hotel to my family and friends. The only complaint is that my breakfast was served cold.
My stay at the hotel felt like a cozy retreat with beautiful gardens and water features, just like a house on a quiet street. The rooms, however, were a little bit dusty, and my request for an early check-in wasn't honored, which was a bit inconvenient.
