The hotel was a pleasant experience overall with its clean and modern rooms, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, we did face an issue with mosquito bites due to the room not being properly fumigated unless we asked daily. Additionally, the location, while generally good, had some noise issues from traffic. The amenities were decent, but it would have been better if the dining options were more consistent in quality.
