I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite outdated and not very clean, which was disappointing. On the upside, the location is decent with some shopping options nearby. However, the service left a lot to be desired, and I encountered hidden costs that added to my frustration. Overall, it was not the relaxing getaway I hoped for.

The rooms were outdated and had a strong odor upon entry. There were some unwelcomed guests like a gecko on the windowsill and small spiders on the shower curtain. The air conditioning barely worked for my elderly mother, and the microwave wasn’t cleaned properly.

The location is fairly quiet yet still close to a shopping village with grocery options and a couple of restaurants, which was somewhat convenient for quick getaways.

Facilities could use some improvement. Although there are daily garbage collection bins, the amenities seemed dated and not well-maintained.
