I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel; it was more than what I expected for a budget option. The rooms were spacious and clean, with a comfortable king-size bed and decent amenities. However, the service at the front desk was not great, as the staff seemed unfriendly. The hotel is conveniently located next to a shopping mall, but the nearby dining options are somewhat lacking.

I had a decent experience at this hotel, which is conveniently located for my work, but the surrounding construction made it a bit noisy. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, although a bit pricey considering there’s no breakfast included. There's a decent variety of dining options nearby, but they can be on the expensive side. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, just not ideal for light sleepers.

The hotel was conveniently located near the KK Times Square, making it easy for work-related travel. The rooms were decent but lacked breakfast options, and the surrounding construction created quite a bit of noise. While the staff were friendly, the difficulty in getting a cab and the loud disturbances at night detracted from the overall experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is super convenient as it’s right next to Imago Shopping Mall, which is great for shopping. However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing, and the service at the front desk left much to be desired. The room itself was spacious but fairly noisy, which affected my overall comfort. There’s also a lack of parking options, which might be an issue for travelers with their own vehicles.

The room was spacious, but cleanliness could use improvement, with some stains upon check-in. There were only two pillows, which was not sufficient for a deluxe room.
