Heated pool is a welcome amenity! Room and bathroom was spacious and clean. Queen beds seemed a bit small, but comfortable. Furnishings are a bit worn out. Convenience stores and park very close by.

Great service and Ambience. The breakfast was light and fulfilling. Only thing I would say is maybe adding an iron and board and fridge in the superior rooms. Other than that great stay and will be booking again.

Bad experience in terms of cleanliness and service

The location is convenient, and the room was spacious and quiet. However, this is the end of the upside. The hotel is located on a roach infested street, with minimal street lighting. The duvet was also dirty, with stains (like blood) peeling off. We tried to contact housekeeping for a replacement, but we were told that there is no housekeeping at night for this. This is quite digusting and an unacceptable response from a hotel.
