My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is undergoing a revitalization process, which is interesting, and it's close to the mall, but the rooms had issues with water leaking on the floor, and our bed was not made up properly. The service was friendly, but they had not changed the sheets from the previous guests, which was a bit concerning.

The hotel is currently undergoing revitalization, and although close to the mall, it may not be the ideal choice. The rooms had some issues with water leaking into our room and an unmade bed with 2 double beds. The service was friendly despite not changing the sheets from the previous guests. The dining experience was surprisingly better than many higher-priced options during our trip, especially the fish and meat dishes.
