Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be located in a convenient spot with easy access to local amenities. The rooms, although basic, were clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The service was satisfactory, and the dining experience, while not exceptional, provided a decent start to the day. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some minor inconveniences.
The hotel was perfect for our Golf team stay. The rooms were the best we'd stayed at yet; each of us had our own single bed without bunk beds, a spacious bathroom, and a little kitchenette. However, there was a slight smell like someone may have smoked in the room. The service was efficient, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, and grocery shopping services. The location was very central for our needs but a bit far from the city center. The dining options were acceptable, although breakfast starting at 9 a.m. was a bit late for us. The facilities were adequate, meeting our requirements.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms at a great price, making it one of my favorite hotel room experiences so far. The convenience and safety of being right in front of the door added to the overall positive stay. However, the dining experience was average and did not fully meet expectations.
