My second stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were frustrating as some things weren't functioning properly, but my first stay was good despite finding a condom plastic under our sheets. Breakfast service needs improvement, but overall, it's an okay place to stay.

The hotel room was not as expected with issues like a leaking bathtub, noisy AC unit, and unhelpful staff, but it had good pricing and an okay breakfast service. The location was convenient and offered free shuttle buses, but the room smelled bad due to mold. Overall, a decent stay marred by room issues and service shortcomings.

My second stay wasn't as smooth as the first, with a frustrating issue in the room, but overall, the hotel was clean, quiet for good sleep, and breakfast was satisfactory. The location is convenient on a busy main road with nearby business buildings. The service was friendly but had a hiccup with reservation details. The dining experience offered fresh juice and surprise dishes.
