It was a comfortable and relaxing stay at the hotel. Almost everythig was good. Mosquito repellant smell in the hallway was not excellent, but other than that, I was so satisfied. Breakfast was also the best considering its cost.

I liked the centralized location. The hotel staff were amazing. The staff upfront Margaret at the reception desk is the epitome of hospitality. Margaret is a dream. I payed for two nights of dinner for two adults. I visited the restaurant the last night i stayed there unfortunately, my experience was ruined by a manager who came up to my table interrupting my experience by demanding that I pull out my phone and rate his restaurant right there in front of him. I didn't comply to his ridiculous request. I thought it was rude.
