I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, being just a short walk to an indoor mall with various shops. The reception staff were exceptionally nice and welcoming. While the hotel shows some signs of wear, I believe it offers great value for the price I paid. The breakfast was decent, but it could use some improvements.
