I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not up to standard, with air conditioning issues and poor cleanliness. On the bright side, the location was super convenient and close to where I needed to be. Service was decent overall but could use some improvement. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities were adequate.

The hotel's location close to the football stadium was convenient for our night out, but the room cleanliness was disappointing with noticeable dust build-up in the bathroom. The presence of flies on the sheets was off-putting. However, the value for money was decent.

The hotel offers a unique experience with rooms featuring an interesting sofa constantly in the bathroom and an outdoor table by the tropical gardens. The balcony adds an extra charm to the room. However, the price may not match the overall value for money.

The hotel offers a convenient location close to the airport terminal, making it great for short stays. The rooms are modern but could improve in cleanliness. The dining options are limited, and there are not many nearby dining choices.
