However, a few amenities were lacking, and I experienced some communication issues during my visit. Overall, it's a good value for money, but be prepared for limited services in certain areas.

The hotel has a prime location near many attractions, but unfortunately, the service and overall condition of the place leave much to be desired. The rooms can be quite unpleasant due to issues like smell and cleanliness. While there is no breakfast provided despite claims, the pricing seems reasonable for the area, but not for the experience received.
