I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were pretty spacious, although mine felt a bit dark. I really appreciated the friendly and attentive service from the staff throughout my visit. The location was surprisingly perfect for a peaceful stay while still being close to key transport links. However, I found the overall atmosphere could use a little brightness, especially in the rooms they assign during late check-ins.

I stayed in a deluxe king room which was large and spacious, but unfortunately, it was a bit dark despite the lighting. I guess each room has its own unique interior, and since I checked in late, I didn't have much choice on my assigned room.

The hotel is in a great spot, nestled in a quiet area mostly surrounded by corporate offices, and only a short walk from the main train station and bus stop.

I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean, but the one assigned to us was quite dark and felt small for three people. While the staff was nice, and they even tried to find us another room, it was still a bit frustrating. On the upside, the location was really convenient, close to the airport and public transport, which saved us a lot of time during our trip.

The room we got was clean, but it was a bit dark and small for three people. We had a Deluxe King advertised, but it turned out to be just a double bed.

My recent stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the staff were genuinely helpful and attentive, I faced a few issues with the room where the air conditioning wasn't working effectively, making it uncomfortable at times. The location is quite convenient, especially if you're planning to shop, being close to several malls. However, I was disappointed to find the bed was smaller than I expected and the linens could have smelled fresher.

The room size was decent, but the bed was advertised as a Deluxe King, yet it turned out to be a double size. I had issues with the air conditioning and the sheets didn't smell nice.

The hotel is conveniently located near the main train station and corporate offices, which kept the area quiet. My room, however, was a bit dark despite the lighting, likely due to different interior designs, but it was still nice. The service was decent, though I experienced a hiccup when towels weren't replaced after cleaning. Overall, it's a solid choice for value, though there are a few quirks to note.

My room was nice but a bit on the dark side despite the available lighting. The design seemed unique but limited my options since I checked in late.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is wonderful, being quiet yet close to the main train station and convenient for exploring the city. The deluxe king room I stayed in was spacious, but it felt a bit dark despite the lighting. While the staff was generally attentive and tried their best, I encountered a significant issue with housekeeping not replacing our towels. Overall, I'd recommend it for the location, but the service could use some improvement.
