I had a pleasing stay at this hotel. The rooms were modern and spacious, which really added to my comfort. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. However, I found the dining options to be quite limited, which was a bit disappointing. The hotel is conveniently located close to major amenities, but it could benefit from a clearer sign at the main road for easier navigation.
