My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and spacious, providing essential air conditioning during the hot days. However, the outdated and stark furnishings were a bit of a downside. The service was friendly and accommodating, although the staff's knowledge of local dining options was lacking. The location was ideal for exploring the city's major attractions on foot, but the dining experience left something to be desired with cold food. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's facilities were adequate and functional.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had some gorgeous views, and they were surprisingly spacious and pleasantly air-conditioned, which was a lifesaver during the scorching heat we experienced. Although my room wasn't ready right away, the high ceilings and excellent bathrooms more than made up for it.
