Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very clean and bright, offering a comfortable stay. However, there were some issues with the reception staff, especially during the night shift. The location was close to shops and restaurants, but the proximity to the highway was a drawback. The dining experience was a highlight, offering a variety of tasty dishes, although some changes were noticed during the stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and bright, and the bathrooms were sparkling, which was excellent. However, the noise level was unbearable, making it feel like sleeping next to a busy highway. Despite encountering some ants and a bedding change only one day before departure, overall cleanliness was maintained. I also had concerns about getting a refund that remain unresolved.
My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were clean and spacious, and there was no bad smell even as a non-smoker. However, I did encounter some ants, and the bedding was changed only a day before my departure. I'm hoping to get assistance in getting a refund for this inconvenience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was comfortable but had ants, and the bedding was changed only a day before my departure, which was not ideal. Booking on the website was easy, but the room I received wasn't the one I expected.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and spacious, providing everything we needed for the night, but the view facing the highway was a bit of a drawback. The staff was generally nice and helpful, but there was a concerning incident with a receptionist on the night shift. The location, while close to the airport, was quite far from the city center, adding some inconvenience. The dining options were basic but sufficient, and the facilities were satisfactory.
