The hotel rooms are basic but very clean with a great hot water service. However, I could hear lots of noise from outside due to the extreme heat. There was a bad damp smell initially, but the issue was resolved when we were moved upstairs. The bedding configuration wasn't what we wanted, but the staff was accommodating.

The hotel is located away from the center and a little older, yet spacious and comfortable. The rooms could have been cleaner, especially the bathroom and toilet, which seemed to always smell like urine. The service was good overall, including room service, housekeeping, and laundry. The location was excellent with good food options, a nightclub, and other amenities nearby. The dining experience had some issues with undercooked toast but was generally decent. The facilities were satisfactory but not exceptional.
