I had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel, especially with its clean and comfortable rooms and the very friendly staff. The location is super convenient, close to shopping malls and the main bus station. However, the dining experience left something to be desired since the breakfast options were a bit limited. Overall, it's great value for the money, but I wish there were better meal choices.
