I regret to say that I cannot recommend this hotel, despite its otherwise nice amenities and staff. During my stay, I gradually became aware of serious privacy issues that ultimately led to my decision to leave. While everything seemed fine at first, I started to notice unusual occurrences—especially during showering. There would be strange noises, like banging, that would start around the same time I would use the bathroom. Additionally, every time I would lay down in my bed, the guest below me seemed to react by moving objects or making noises, which raised suspicions that I was being surveilled. Concerned about my privacy, I decided to bring in my personal camera detector (which I purchased for around $80 and trust for its accuracy). To my shock, the detector found SEVERAL HIDDEN DEVICES throughout the room, including areas where they would not be easily visible, like in the bathroom and even under the bed. This discovery was deeply unsettling, and I felt my personal space was being invaded without my consent. While the hotel itself offers a clean and comfortable environment, the issue of secret surveillance is something I cannot ignore. If privacy is a concern for you, I strongly urge caution before booking this hotel. It's not worth risking being watched and listened to in such an invasive way 24/7 as a paying guest.

Located bit away from the busy center. Which is good. Yet not too far. Nice apartment (studio unit) via bookingdt com. Nice pool, usable gym. Nothing much. Have to get out if need food but delivery is available. Easy. Parking also not difficult. No hassle. Few nights stay. Comfy, clean, maintained well. No issues for me.

Pros: The unit had some positives: spacious layout, good natural light, two bathrooms, and a big fridge. Kids pove the pool, there's kiddie pool and deeper one for adults. Pool view and from the suite balcony during our stay was nice. Service was efficient. Cons: The lobby bathroom had a strong vomit smell, and the unit itself had a sewage odor, likely from the washing machine drain. Wi-Fi was weak and kept cutting off, the parking driveway is narrow, and breakfast isn’t buffet as advertised. There’s an induction stove but no pots or utensils, and the bed wasn’t great. I woke up with back pain. Couch has burn marks, needs some maintenance. Beware of the roosters that start screaming around 3 a.m.

Enjoyed my stay. Room was very big and comfortable and had two bathrooms even though there was only one bedroom. But it didn't have a hairdryer and the TV did not have Netflix. Great location and easy to get around with car. Parking no hassle.

Room service is very poor. The bathroom water heater did not work, and only one air conditioner was functioning. The vessels were in bad condition, and the fan remote was not working. The only positive point is the location.
