10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, right next to the mall, which made shopping and getting around super convenient. The staff was outstanding, friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The room was spotless, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, though it wasn’t exactly to my personal taste. Overall, it’s a great hotel, and I’d happily recommend it given its unbeatable location and excellent service"
