8/10 Good
"The breakfast was great, and the staff at the front desk were wonderful and very welcoming. The room itself was good; however, the entire ceiling was covered in dust from the air-conditioning unit, which was quite disappointing. We were also unable to adjust the air-conditioning settings in the room, which was frustrating as one night we were too hot and the next we were too cold. The location was excellent, with plenty of food options and shops within easy walking distance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the friendly staff and convenient location."
