Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms had some issues like not changing the bed sheets and comforters, a slightly moldy smell which improved with the air conditioning, and a window with no view blocked by another building. However, the service was polite and helpful, with a bit of delay due to staff being preoccupied. The location was convenient for reaching various attractions but marred by nearby construction. The dining experience was not satisfying, with poor quality and high prices. Overall, the facilities were adequate with room for improvement.
