My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were commendable, giving me a pleasant place to rest. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, mainly due to service inefficiencies. While it offers good value for the price, the internet connectivity was frustratingly poor, impacting my ability to work. Overall, I left feeling that improvements are needed, particularly in service and breakfast management.
