Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with good air conditioning, but lacking modern amenities. The service is subpar, with a focus on partying rather than customer needs. The location is ideal for both peace-seekers and nightlife enthusiasts, but noise can be an issue. The dining options are continental and satisfactory. Facilities are average, missing some essential services.
The hotel offers basic but clean rooms with a nice balcony. Although I missed having a fridge in the room, the overall cleanliness and functionality were satisfactory. Additional charges for amenities like air conditioning and safety deposit box are something to consider. The service was friendly, but the uncomfortable beds led to neck and back pain, detracting from the overall experience. The location, while set back from the main strip, is convenient for accessing nearby bars, supermarkets, and restaurants. The dining experience, although basic, provides enough to get me started for the day. Overall, it's a decent place to stay but be aware of the extra costs for certain facilities.
