Not a bad stay for a 2.5-star hotel at all. We requested a connecting room but didn’t get one since we checked in late and most rooms were already taken—no issue for us. The rooms were clean and the staff were friendly; they even called about 10 minutes after we checked in to make sure everything was okay, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was basic but decent. The AC/heater units were a bit noisy, but we were tired and slept through it without any problem. Overall, a solid stay for the price.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was well organized with a good variety, though it could be healthier and served hotter. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would stay here again.
