I had a decent stay at the hotel thanks to its great location near shopping centers and restaurants, but the cleanliness of the room and issues with Wi-Fi left a bit to be desired. The staff was friendly and quick to help out, which made my experience more pleasant. Overall, the hotel is good value for money but has some room for improvement in cleanliness and amenities.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and it has its ups and downs. The location is great, really close to shopping spots and massage places. I found the rooms to be decent with a nice river view, but I felt the prices were a bit high for what you get. The service could use some improvement, as I noticed staff chatting loudly at the reception and occasionally not being attentive. Overall, it was an okay experience but had some areas that could really enhance the stay.

The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and I appreciated the friendly staff. However, the service could use some improvement, as staff members struggled with English and were often inattentive. Dining options were quite limited and not very satisfying, which was a letdown. Overall, it's a decent place to stay, but there are definitely areas that need attention.
