I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is really convenient, being close to a mall and near the airport, which was great for my travels. However, the room I stayed in left a lot to be desired, especially with maintenance issues. The service was genuinely helpful, but there were definitely some drawbacks that made my stay less than ideal.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found the location to be one of its best features, being close to the airport and shopping. However, the rooms were not up to par, as they were dirty and in need of substantial maintenance. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the lengthy wait times for service took away from the experience. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for convenience, but don't expect luxurious comfort.
