I had a decent stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located right next to a shopping mall and a few restaurants. The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable, but I found the dining options lacking. I appreciated having access to the gym for free, and although the amenities were good, there were a few areas that could use improvement. Overall, it was a fair value for the price, though the breakfast could definitely be better.

I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the clean and spacious rooms which made my visit comfortable. The location is just fantastic, with easy access to many shops, restaurants, and even a gym nearby, but the breakfast options left a bit to be desired.
