"Property is close by some tourist spots with the Jogyesa temple across the street. Rooms are good, but setup of bath not convenient (poor lights, shower curtain). Gym is bare minimum, parking expensive. Overall OK, but far from great."

"Truly exceptional location. The room just felt a bit dated and the layout was a bit strange with a ton of dead space. Bedding and pillows were also not very comfortable. Everything was ok and nothing was bad, but it definitely felt like we were paying for location and not the amenities."
