Reception was very friendly. Staff was helpful and friendly. However there is no breakfast included here sadly. There do have a gym thou in this place. Gym was equipped sufficient to work out basics stuff.
Room wise its clean and huge, kept good and maintenance well. Parking was also convenient to get to room and its near. Generally hotel is a little age and might be nice to get an upgrade.

The breakfast is not delicious. Don’t order breakfast. There are ants and bugs in the room. My friends who are traveling with me have been bitten. Be careful. The room layout is okay and the cleaning is fairly clean. The guy at the front desk is quite handsome. , the service attitude is also very good
