I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its central location which made getting around easy. The room was clean, but a bit cramped for two adults, and I did hear some noise from outside. The staff was accommodating, although the walk to the room through the food court was a bit unusual. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option with decent amenities, but it's not without its quirks.

The hotel is quite basic and fits the budget traveler’s needs, but it has notable issues, including steep stairs that make it unsuitable for families with children. I found the cleanliness satisfactory and the room had a decent space, but the lack of proper service and the condition of the facilities left much to be desired. Overall, this place is okay for a short stay, especially given the location, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone expecting a comfortable experience.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was surprisingly convenient, just a short walk from the bus stop, but the rooms had several issues, and I wasn't impressed with the service overall. While my final room was okay, it was definitely noisy, and the bathrooms could use a proper cleaning. I really wish I had a better stay, but it felt more like a struggle than a vacation.

I had a mixed experience at this budget hotel. The location is undeniably great, with plenty of amenities and attractions just a short walk away. The room I stayed in was clean but had its downsides, such as the lack of thorough cleaning during my stay. It felt like a decent value for the price, but there were some concerns about hygiene and overall comfort.
