Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated near downtown, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were spacious and modern, offering a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with attentive housekeeping and welcoming pet amenities. However, the pad thai at the restaurant was not as impressive as expected.
I stayed at this hotel and had a great time! The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was super friendly. The location is awesome, right next to downtown, making it easy to access various restaurants. The dining experience was satisfactory, but could use a bit more variety. The facilities were top-notch, especially the pool area. Overall, a great stay with good value for money.
The hotel is a great choice for those seeking a cozy and convenient stay. The rooms are small but clean, the staff is very accommodating, and the location is central. However, the noise level can be a disturbance during busy times.
