Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel is kind of old but totally functional. I like the fact that it has a separate living area.
Staff were very good. They delivered us to the airport and picked us up from the airport. Breakfast was also good.
The room was old but very well kept, cozy, warm, and extremely clean. No bad smells and not musty at all. the customer service was wonderful, and when our tire went flat and we had to stay longer than expected, they responded with kindness. For being an inn, it met and surpassed our expectations.
I felt like staying from home to home.
Very friendy environment,
Large room and very clean
Excellent front desk service
Very close by shopping mall which has almost everything (clothing, ready to eat food, bakery products, and much more in a walking distance)
The room is clean, spacious, bed comfortable, staff friendly. We requested ground floor for my senior companion and was given a spacious wheelchair access room. Breakfast simple but good enough to fill your hunger in the early morning without having to leave hotel.
