Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is very near to the conference center, offering rooms with great air conditioning and good facilities for breakfast for four people. However, the rooms had unidentifiable stains on the walls and hairs in the shower. The service provided was friendly and knowledgeable about the area, and the location, while kinda ok, is pretty sketchy with a very busy street nearby. The dining options lacked savory choices and were too sweet. Overall, the hotel preserved the property and was accommodating, but there could be improvements in various aspects.
The hotel has spacious rooms, but the strong perfume smell was unsettling at times. The noise level varied throughout the stay, being quiet on some nights but loud on others around 2.30 am. The service was a mix of unprofessional and accommodating experiences, with both friendly and unhelpful staff. The location was questionable, being opposite to what was advertised, although it was close to the conference center and restaurants. The dining options were limited, with overly sweet items and a lack of savory choices.
