The room was clean and modern. it was also quite spacious. the location was convenient. It suited me well for visiting family. the food in the restaurant was very good, as were the drinks.
The staff only did the minimum i felt. there were no phones in the room. That was a little inconvenient. i could hear kids running around upstairs. It was hard to sleep, though.

The staff was great, quite friendly. The adjoining restaurant provided a wide range of choices for breakfast. The hotel is right on a bus stop route into the city.
The pillows were awful in my room. The smoke and heat sensor was above the bed. It flashed throughout the night. I would advise taking a sleep mask.

Amazing Hotel Experience!

The bus stop right outside the car park made getting to the city center super easy. It's perfect for exploring local markets. I really appreciated the spacious and modern room. It felt so clean and tidy! There was lots of space for parking at the hotel. The comfy bed and nicely furnished room.!!
I did notice there wasn't a closet or dresser for storing clothes. Only three-legged stools served as night stands.
