    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptional, especially Zulu and the late shift guy who made my stay comfortable. The room was clean and the hotel facilities were good. The location is situated in a safe area and transportation was easily accessible. The breakfast was amazing and the staff ensured that it accommodated my situation.

    Located in a secure area with lots of shops and restaurants nearby, the hotel offers a budget-friendly option for travelers. the staff are helpful and accommodating, and the rooms have useful amenities like a fridge, electric kettle, and microwave. Air conditioning and plenty of hot water make for a comfortable stay.

    The hotel doesn't meet safety standards during power outages. With no emergency lighting or power generators, guests are at risk in the case of a fire.

The staff are friendly and always willing to assist, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the breakfast buffet is a lovely treat to start the day.

    Great location close to shopping amenities and exciting surroundings. The building’s exterior and the hotel environment had a good atmosphere. A very quiet building despite its location.

    The hotel had poor safety measures and violated fire hazard and safety rules. During power outages, there were no emergency lights for stairs, therefore making it difficult to move around.
