"Located near bus stops, the hotel’s facilities are well-maintained. The staff is quite attentive, and the breakfast buffet offers good options to suit various tastes. The room is spacious, and the bathroom is a good size. The only drawback is that the automated light controls are located on the headboard and remain lit at all times, which makes it difficult to fall asleep at night."
"The staff was so friendly and helpful. My room was upgraded for free, and waa able to check-in earlier too. I did my laundry and it was super easy. The breakfast is great too. I really recommend this hotel."
