The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms with enough space for up to four people. The service was accommodating, including housekeeping and a shuttle service. The location was superb at the center of town, but nighttime driving was a bit scary. The dining experience was amazing, with a variety of delicious options, catering even to Muslim guests with a halaal breakfast service. The facilities were up to standard but noted a lingering smell in the building until early morning.

The hotel rooms didn't look like the photos onsite, but were clean, tidy, and well-decorated. They were very nice and comfortable. The breakfast was delightful, thanks to the lovely staff. We enjoyed being close to town, the helpful and protective security, and the lovely view. However, not getting the keys for the gate was a downside.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room I booked last minute was very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was delightful, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area with helpful staff. However, the only downside was not getting the keys for the gate, which was a bit inconvenient.

I had booked this hotel at the last minute and found the room to be surprisingly neat with a microwave and fridge, although it was a bit paper-like. The service was excellent, especially with the housekeeping and laundry. The location was just outside the entrance and central to explore the surrounding area, even though it bordered the road front. The dining experience was good overall despite a little disorganization. The facilities were satisfactory with some room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located close to all main attractions with incredibly helpful staff, offering comfortable and spacious rooms for a family of 4. The breakfast off the menu was very good, although a buffet option would have been preferred. The basic dining experience could be improved with more variety, yet the rooms are nicely equipped and very comfortable for a last-minute booking.

The facilities were decent, with baked chocolate cakes as a highlight, but could be improved to match the advertisement's description for a more satisfying experience.
