I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfy, and well-equipped, but there was an issue with room assignment. The service was pleasant overall. The location was perfect for our needs, but the dining options left something to be desired.

My room had a king-sized comfy bed, was clean and nicely decorated, and even had a coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. However, there was a mix-up with the room assignment initially.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room I received was much better and bigger than expected, but its location at the back near a forest made me feel a bit uneasy. The staff handled a cleanliness issue promptly but showed some lack of attention to creating a top-notch guest experience. The location was convenient, close to many shops, and despite some nearby construction, it was a great stay. The dining options were subpar, and the facilities were below average.

The hotel room was very disappointing as it smelled like smoke in a non-smoking room, the fire alarm was taken off the wall and not working, and the room was extremely outdated. It felt old, musty, and should have been priced much lower. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially in changing our room. The location was convenient for my business needs, but the area around the hotel was not well-maintained. The dining experience was below average with limited options, and the facilities were lacking.

I had no other option but to stay in one of their rooms, which should have been low budget considering the lack of cleanliness and the high price. Our beds were never changed throughout our whole stay, making the cost unreasonable for the poor service provided, including a disappointing breakfast.
