Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious, clean, and very comfortable rooms, ideal for a group of eight. However, cleanliness could be improved. The service lacks warmth and interest in guests, with some staff being arrogant and unhelpful. The location is a bit isolated but has good access to transportation. Dining options vary from basic breakfast to unsatisfactory choices. Overall, value for money is acceptable with room for improvement.
