Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room cost me over $200 for a night's stay, which I found a bit pricey for what it offered, but it was very spacious and in a superb location with easy access to plenty of food options. There was a noticeable smell when I first opened the door, quite different from my previous stays 2 years ago, especially the rooms on the 5th or 6th floor, which were better.
Overall, my stay at the hotel was pleasant. The rooms were quite tiny but surprisingly very comfortable, equipped with all the necessary amenities even though we didn't use them much. The service was friendly and accommodating, making our extended stay stress-free. The location was excellent, within walking distance to various attractions in the CBD. The dining options were good, with a variety of choices available at reasonable prices.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious, and ideal for both relaxation and activity. The staff was incredibly accommodating and pleasant. The central location made it easy to explore the town, although dining options could be better. Overall, a great value for the money.
