Not very friendly check in staff, AC in room is outdated, the temperature cant be controlled by the remote control, you literally have to unplug the AC so that the room wont be so cold, for the price you pay, they really need to provide a newer and updated AC system. Also bad toxic smells coming out from the AC, we had an infant baby and he kept coughing, stay away from this hotel if you have kids, unfriendly waiter staff for the buffet, rudely asking you to give them your buffet tickets, the food itself is not soo good, just two types of rice, some cold scrambled eggs, toast, some fruits, but dont expect a real buffet, simple, and they ask you to finish or clean the plate almost if not you pay a fine for leaving leftovers in your plate. The bathroom toilet also start not to function towards the end, the water just kept running and running and not able to flush, the side hose was also broken or almost broken Dont really recommend this hotel for the price you are paying them, unfriendly and rude service and bad faciilities, there are other better options for this 'western prices" almost 50 dollars a night. If you feel like giving them your money and not getting any value for it, then go for it!

I was truly impressed with my experience!
The breakfast was delicious, and I especially loved the coffee. The facilities were also excellent and contributed to a comfortable stay.
I had read some reviews mentioning that the hotel was older, and I admit I was a little hesitant to book. However, from the moment we checked in, I was incredibly satisfied. The room was spotlessly clean, and having a refrigerator was a great touch. While there was no window, it was perfectly fine for our one-night stay as we were primarily there to rest.
Overall, it was an amazing stay! Thank you for providing such a positive experience.

Although the hotel is a bit rustic, the hotel is still great. The size of room is good. Location-wise, it is really convenient to everything also.

No warm water, no WiFi on 7th floor. No Continental breakfast, poor choices. Staff friendly but not helpful.
