I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there was no Wi-Fi connection available. The private toilet was a plus point, and the air conditioning worked well. The service was good with options for dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry, although the Wi-Fi was not included and had to be paid for separately. The dining experience did not offer crisp salads as expected. The facilities were rated highly, providing a pleasant stay overall.
