My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with clean and well-set up rooms that made my visit enjoyable. The staff were friendly, adding to a relaxed atmosphere, but I did encounter issues with ants in my room that were a bit bothersome. The location was excellent, making it easy to access the nearby parks and city amenities, though having a car would make things a bit more convenient. Overall, it felt like good value for money despite a couple of hiccups.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, especially since it was a family-friendly place ideal for a family of four. The proximity to a lovely park for the kids was a nice bonus, though I found the room cleanliness left something to be desired, with it only being half made upon check-in. Overall, it was a decent value for money, but the air conditioning could have been better.

During my stay, I found the hotel to have a great vibe with very friendly service. The location is perfect for exploring nearby parks and dining options. However, the room I stayed in was quite small and lacked private facilities, which I found a bit inconvenient. Nonetheless, the cleanliness of the cabin and the welcoming environment made up for some of the downsides.

This hotel was a mixed bag for me. The location was fantastic, right across from the beach and close to shops and restaurants, making it super convenient. The rooms felt a bit rushed with some unfinished details, and while the staff was cordial, I found the service could have been better, especially with Wi-Fi not being provided upfront. Overall, it was decent for the price, but there were definitely areas that could use improvement.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. The rooms were not only dirty, with ants crawling everywhere, but also uncomfortable with a smelly blanket. The shared facilities were another downside, making it less ideal for privacy. On the positive side, the service staff was prompt and helpful, which is always appreciated. The location was decent, with some appealing views, but I expected much more from my experience.
