My stay was overall pleasant with a few ups and downs. The hotel had a peaceful and beautiful location, but it was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the main street. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there was a small inconvenience with the directions given late at night. The dining options were limited, and the breakfast could have been better, lacking hot food. The rooms, though in good condition, were not as spacious and nice as advertised, with a faulty AC. Despite these issues, the value for money during the off-season was great.

The hotel was situated next to a busy street, which made it noisy, but the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location, despite being close to stores, had some areas in disrepair, yet the gardens were a nice touch. The rooms, though non-smoking, were not up to standard as per online descriptions.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, close to shopping, food, and the highway. The rooms, although facing the loud street traffic, were nice and the bed was comfortable. However, the cleanliness was an issue with a baby cockroach running on the floor throughout my stay.
