The hotel is ideally located close to shops and shopping centers, making it super convenient. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with great blinds. The staff is friendly and helpful, which adds to the experience. However, the dining options were limited and not particularly impressive, so that was a letdown. Overall, it's a good choice for a budget stay but don’t expect gourmet meals.

The hotel is in a superb location, just a stone's throw from the Stockland shopping centre and close to everything we needed. The rooms are spacious and modern, and the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. On the downside, the breakfast options fell a bit short, and while the pool was nice, it could use a little extra attention. Overall, we found it to be good value for money.

The hotel has a great location, close to shopping centers and various amenities, making it a convenient choice. My room was clean and comfortable, though a bit noisy due to trucks unloading next door. I found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. However, the dining options for breakfast were somewhat limited, which could be improved. Overall, it's a decent value for money, but not ideal for those seeking a quiet stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were not only clean but also very comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. The location was perfect for getting around, close to everything we needed and nearby public transport and shopping centers. However, the breakfast could use a bit more variety, and while the pool area was nice, it felt a bit crowded at times. Overall, it was good value for money despite a couple of minor issues.
