The hotel rooms were clean and very comfortable and spacious, but there was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke from a previous guest. The service was great overall, except for the unfriendliness of the staff tidying the tables. The location was good, especially for our trip purpose, next to the mall. The dining experience was of good quality, offering nice options to expand my palate. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel was clean, neat, and comfortable, but there was a smell of cigarette smoke from a previous guest in the room. Unfortunately, there was no bottled water provided. On the bright side, the friendly service and accommodating staff made the stay enjoyable. The location was convenient for our travels but not ideal for solo walks due to safety concerns. The dining experience offered nutritious and delicious meals, although a variety of options could have improved it. The facilities were satisfactory, offering everything needed for a pleasant stay.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. The rooms were in excellent condition, but the small shower and lack of charging at the bed's headboard were a downside. The cleanliness could have been better, and the rooms felt a bit cramped. The service was a bit inconsistent with some staff appearing overwhelmed, but overall, they were friendly and courteous. The location was convenient, especially being close to a major shopping mall, but the presence of questionable characters around the streets was a concern. The dining experience was pleasant, offering a restful ambiance, although the dinner was subpar. The facilities were decent overall.
