surprising stay!

friendly staff open lounge indoor pool
I found the staff super friendly and helpful. They always had smiles. the hotel boasts a sizable open-plan lounge area, offering ample space to relax without being confined to the bedroom (a real bonus!). i also loved the indoor swimming pool. It was clean and well-kept, perfect for a refreshing dip.
The room i got felt somewhat dated. It could use some modernizing touches for a better experience. some minor cosmetic upgrades would definitely enhance the overall appeal.
