My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the room lacked some basic amenities like body lotion and had a moldy smell, the full bath provided a relaxing retreat. The balcony door had to stay open all night, attracting mosquitos. The service had its mix with some staff members being rude while others went out of their way to assist. The location was convenient but exposed the rooms to significant road noise. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited options. However, the hotel was a bit pricey, leading me to expect more based on the advertisement.

The hotel rooms were spacious and well-decorated, offering a good size but lacking character. The balcony overlooking the main road was fine. The staff were remarkably friendly and obliging, providing excellent service. The location was not as close to town as expected but was suitable for car travelers. The dining experience was reasonable with nice touches like homemade muffins. Overall, a good value for money stay.
