Upon entering my room, it needed three rounds of Febreze spraying before I could even breathe, but once that was sorted, it was extremely clean and comfortable. The double occupancy rooms were a bit small for my liking, though.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient, with easy access to city attractions, but there were some maintenance issues like worn wallpaper in the lifts and staircase. The friendly staff made up for it, always greeting me with a smile and being accommodating. The dining options, except for breakfast, were simple and limited.

The hotel is located in a central city area near shopping spots with a friendly and helpful service. The room is modern but small with some initial odor issues, suited for double occupancy with limited suitcase space. The dining options are simple with few choices, and there could be some room for improvement, especially for breakfast. The location offers easy access to the city's attractions, though it might come with a higher price tag.

The hotel is located in a strategic area within walking distance of the Philippine market, making it easy to find places to eat. The rooms are small but decent, although they had a slight uneasy smell initially. The service was kind and willing to resolve any issues, but check-in was a bit time-consuming. The complimentary breakfast at Anak Mamak restaurant was a nice touch, but the dining experience was subpar with limited options. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, though the rooms were not in the best condition.

Upon arrival, I found the rooms to be small but surprisingly comfortable and clean. The service, particularly during the night shift, was good and prompt, although the check-in took longer than expected. The location of the hotel is superb, strategically situated within walking distance to the market and eating places. As for dining, the breakfast options were limited, but the food was tasty and worth it. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor drawbacks.
