The hotel is decent with a clean atmosphere and a friendly team, but the experience was marred by noise issues and underwhelming dining options. The location is fantastic for anyone involved in local sports events, though the air conditioning could use improvement.

Overall, my stay was marked by exceptional service and a spotlessly clean environment, perfect for families and athletes. However, the noise level from other guests was quite disruptive at times, which made it challenging to relax. The location is convenient, surrounded by various dining options, but the dining experience could use some improvement, especially when it comes to the quality of the food at the Bistro.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The spacious rooms were spotless and uniquely comfortable. The location was ideal, with shops and dining options just a quick walk away. I really enjoyed the outdoor pool area, but I wish the breakfast options could've been a bit more varied. Overall, it was great value for money, especially given the quality of the service.

My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall, with the highlight being the exceptionally clean and well-maintained surroundings. I appreciated the convenient location near a large indoor mall and various dining options. However, the air conditioning in the room was quite noisy, which was a drawback. Additionally, I found the low water pressure in the bathroom sink a bit frustrating. Despite these issues, I would recommend this hotel for its cleanliness and friendly staff.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel with some standout features and a few drawbacks. The staff was incredibly attentive, and the rooms were clean and well-kept. The location is great with a mall and several restaurants nearby, but unfortunately, the dining options at the Bistro left a bit to be desired. The overall experience was nice, but the noise levels from the lobby and some maintenance issues in the room were a bit of a letdown.
