The hotel is conveniently located near tourist attractions, famous eateries, and offers superb food choices. The rooms are spacious and comfy, but check-in time could be improved. Service can be impersonal and lacks friendliness. The dining experience needs more variety in local cuisines. Overall, a perfect location but with room for improvements in service and dining.

I found the hotel to be conveniently located near many delicious eateries, making it easy to explore the town's attractions. The rooms were spacious for a budget hotel and kept nice and clean, though being directly opposite the lift wasn't my preference. The service was top-notch, especially with the staff being very cooperative and accommodating even during late-night check-ins. The dining experience was decent with a buffet offering a good variety, although some found it lacking in choices. Overall, a good hotel for a short vacation.
