Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and much more spacious than I expected, but unfortunately, I had to deal with a noisy neighboring guest with a crying child throughout the night. The lack of cleanliness and basic amenities like toilet paper was a significant downside.
The hotel rooms did not match the online descriptions but had all the amenities including the ability to cast videos from phones. The check-in process was inconvenient as it was not available upon arrival, requiring waiting in the parking lot or nearby.
