This hotel has some ups and downs. While I found the room service to be excellent and enjoyed a comforting stay with a cozy bed and good food, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired, as I spotted cockroaches. The location was also quite noisy being on a busy road. The price felt a bit high for the condition of the facilities.

I had a pretty disappointing experience at this hotel. The rooms and common areas were not as clean as I expected, with dirty floors and an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. While the bathroom was decent, the overall ambiance left a lot to be desired. The location was quite noisy, and the dining experience really fell short. It's not a place I would recommend if you are looking for comfort and a good breakfast.
