I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While some aspects were pleasant, like the friendly staff and decent breakfast options, the rooms needed attention due to maintenance issues. The restaurant food wasn't to my liking, which was a letdown during my stay. Overall, I felt it was a decent deal given the number of rooms we booked, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

The room I stayed in was on the 6th floor and was in good condition, but I did encounter some issues like a smell from the furnishings and an AC that took time to cool.

The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Dawood who assisted with our needs, but the restaurant service could use some improvement.

The hotel is about 45-50 minutes away from the airport, which is a bit far but manageable.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the spacious rooms provided ample space, they were in dire need of maintenance and modernization. The dining options were quite limited, and I faced issues with the service that detracted from my overall experience. If you're on a tight budget, it may work for you, but I would recommend looking elsewhere for better quality.

I had quite an experience at this hotel, feeling like I had stepped back into the 1990s. On one hand, the spacious rooms and nice carpeted area were enjoyable, but the old fixtures and some cleanliness issues really took away from the stay. While the staff was accommodating, it's clear that the hotel needs some serious renovations to match modern expectations. Thankfully, the dining options nearby were great, so I did get some good meals outside of the hotel.
