My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were incredibly spacious and had a fresh feel to them, and the staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating. However, the location is a bit lacking when it comes to nearby dining options, and the dining experience itself was quite limited and chaotic during breakfast. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, but there are definitely aspects that could be improved.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, I felt a bit uneasy as a solo traveler because mine was in a separate building near a busy road. The service varied; some staff were very kind, while others seemed unfriendly. The location was convenient for accessing local eateries and shopping, but it was a bit far from the beaches. Overall, it has its strengths, but a few improvements could make it a better stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is nicely situated near Central Festival and not far from the beach. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, which made my visit comfortable. However, the service could use a bit more friendliness, and while the dining was decent, it felt like it catered mainly to group guests. Overall, the price felt reasonable for what I got.

I had an interesting stay at the hotel. The rooms were large and comfortable, although there was a bit of a mold smell at first. The location was perfect, right across from a mall and near some great local eats, but I felt a bit uneasy as a solo traveler since my room was in a separate building close to a busy road. The staff was friendly, but the service could use some improvement, especially regarding charges for taxi calls. Overall, it was decent for the price but had some areas that could be better.
