Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location was superb, with great views of the park and convenient access to the restaurant. The rooms were cozy and clean, but I found the service lacking a bit in customer care.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, right by the Arboretum park and close to the city center, making it super convenient to explore around. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The dining options were great, offering a variety of meat and fish dishes. However, the lack of customer service knowledge was a downside. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
I couldn't have asked for a better location! Being so close to the city center made it incredibly convenient for me to explore around. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff were extremely helpful. On the downside, the dining options were a bit lackluster. Even so, staying here was a great value overall.
