The hotel room was spacious and nicely furnished with a very comfortable six-foot-wide bed and quality pillows offering a pool view. However, there were still some challenges to consider. The service was a mix of being unreasonable at times but also friendly and courteous, with the highlight being a brilliant early check-in to a quiet room overlooking the pool area. The location was convenient, although there were some noise issues, especially with outside rooms. The dining experience, while offering a variety of meals, had some rude encounters and poor quality issues. Overall, the facilities were adequate with room for improvement.

The hotel is situated near a very busy intersection, leading to constant noise from taxis and traffic, which affected my stay negatively. The rooms, although not as grand as the public areas, are large, beautifully clean, and extremely comfortable. However, they had a smell of cigarette smoke on curtains and pillows, triggering my allergic rhinitis.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although comfortable and neat, had some issues like offensive smells, dirty curtains, and constant noise that kept me up at night. However, the service was very accommodating and service-minded overall, though they could improve on welcoming guests. The location, while convenient for business and the LOFTUS stadium, may not be ideal for a holiday stay. The dining options were limited and a bit greasy with added sugar. The facilities were up to standard with a clean environment around the hotel.

The hotel room faced the inner court and was neat, but had some cleanliness issues causing unexpected expenses. The constant noise from the busy intersection affected the overall tranquility. The service was welcoming and efficient, with courteous staff offering useful advice for tourists. The location had some positive aspects like being close to shops and restaurants, but security concerns and early morning noise were drawbacks. The dining experience was a mix of quality with rude behavior noted during service. The facilities overall were of good quality.
