6.6/10

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms felt very new and fresh with partial seaview and swimming pool view, but there were broken appliances and some cleanliness issues. The service was pleasant overall, but there were some organizational issues that need to be addressed. The location was convenient, right in the center of town with easy access to local amenities, yet it lacked some charm. The dining experience was excellent but overpriced. The facilities were average, with room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The partial seaview and swimming pool view from the room were nice, but the rooms were not ready when I checked in, the receptionist was unkind, and there was an unknown black powder floating in the pool water. The hotel's location was convenient for walking to nearby restaurants and shops, yet a bit difficult to access during rush hour near the malls.
