Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable overall. The rooms were exceptionally clean but a bit dusty, and the hotel was located next to a building site. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location was great for shopping, with some nice restaurants and bars nearby. The dining experience was nice, but more variety would have been appreciated.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to cater to our needs, but the room lacked a decent view and was situated on a busy road. The location was convenient for shopping but had some issues with water. The dining options were satisfying, though more variety would have been appreciated.
