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.

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.
