I had a decent stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that gave me enough comfort. However, the noise from other guests during the night was quite disruptive, and there were some cleanliness issues in the room. Breakfast was enjoyable and set me up for the day, but the overall experience could have been better with fewer disturbances.

I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed bag. While the rooms were comfortable and the location was ideal for shopping and accessing transport, the experience was marred by less-than-ideal customer service and a need for renovations. The air conditioning situation in the room was particularly disappointing, and I would have preferred better dining options on-site.
