I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel as it was conveniently located close to the infamous Sogo mall and a shopping center with good restaurants nearby. The room was clean and spacious, which made for a comfortable experience. However, the Wi-Fi wasn't included, and the dining options could definitely use improvement as it was quite basic. Overall, I felt it offered great value for money.
