My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. The cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, as I found used soap in the bathroom and had to request basic necessities like toilet paper and towels. However, I did enjoy my experience at the onsite restaurant, where the food was quite good. It's unfortunate that I couldn't even have a proper shower due to the lack of water during my stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were well furnished and the basic amenities were fulfilled, but unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue as it felt like the room hadn't been properly prepared for my arrival. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, which made my stay more pleasant. The location was convenient, making it easy for me to explore the area. Overall, while the room had its downsides, the service and location balanced things out.

My experience at the hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were not at all clean, with someone else's used soap still in the bathroom, and we even had to ask for toilet paper and towels, which was really frustrating. On the plus side, the hotel is in a decent location that’s nice for nighttime activities. However, overall, it didn’t feel like good value for the money I paid.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the rooms were well-furnished and comfortable, but unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue as we found used soap and had to request basic amenities. The service was hit or miss; while some staff members were helpful, others were less than friendly. The location was convenient, but there were aspects that could definitely be improved.

The hotel has some great points, like well-furnished rooms with basic amenities and decent food at the onsite restaurant. Unfortunately, my stay was marred by cleanliness issues, especially in the bathroom where I found used soap and had to request toilet paper and towels. Overall, while the value for money seemed fair, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired.
