I had a decent stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located near the bus station and within walking distance of the main market. The rooms were spacious, allowing my family to add some extra mattresses, but the service could use a little improvement as some staff weren't very friendly. The breakfast options fell short of my expectations, yet the overall value for money was acceptable considering the prime location.

The hotel has a great location, easily connecting with nearby landmarks and strategic for both business and leisure. The rooms are spacious and clean, but there was a bit of a musty smell in the corridors. The staff was very helpful and always friendly, which really added to my experience. However, it would have been nice to have a parking area reserved for hotel guests as it was a bit inconvenient.

I stayed at this hotel and found it to have a great location in town, super convenient to local markets and food spots. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made my stay more enjoyable. On the downside, the rooms weren't the cleanest, I noticed a few cockroaches, and the breakfast options were pretty limited. Also, the shower setup caused water spills outside of the cubicle, which was a bit inconvenient.
