the staff was really friendly, and they upgraded my room for free.
I do not recommend this hotel because they do not value their customers. i had a medical emergency that prevented me from traveling. they insisted on deducting the amount. They did not care at all
I encountered a problem . The cancellation policy was inflexible when a medical emergency prevented travel. Despite providing a medical report, the hotel still charged me. This felt quite insensitive and showed a lack of appreciation for loyal customers.
