7.4/10

I had an exceptional experience at the hotel thanks to the incredible staff and management who made me feel right at home. The warmth of the General Manager and the team really stood out. However, my friends had a frustrating stay due to dirty conditions and safety concerns, making it difficult to recommend the place for everyone. Overall, while my experience was wonderful, it seems there's a significant inconsistency in quality.

6.2/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the service was exceptional, and the staff really made me feel welcomed, especially the General Manager who was truly kind. However, the cleanliness of the kitchen was concerning, and I had a few uncomfortable incidents with noisy guests that impacted my stay. It’s a decent choice if you need a place for a short stay, especially given its proximity to the mall.

The hotel is located near a busy main road and in an industrial area, which might not be ideal for everyone, but I found it conveniently close to the mall.

Dining

5.0

I was disappointed with the dining situation; it felt like food safety was a concern, and I chose to only eat fruits at breakfast.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were adequate but had issues like intermittent hot water in the showers. It’s a design flaw that needs addressing.
