6.8/10

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were excellent, spacious, clean, and the beds were comfortable. However, the AC control being centralized at the front desk was a bit inconvenient. The fact that the room was completely interior without windows to the outside was unusual but not a problem. The location directly on the town square was a unique experience.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms were excellent, spacious, clean, and the beds were comfortable. The fact that there was plenty of AC, but it was controlled by the front desk was a little inconvenient for me. Also, having no windows to the outside was a new experience, yet it didn't bother me at all.

Service

6.0

The service was a mix of experiences. While some staff members were rude and unhelpful when asked simple questions, others were friendly and courteous. It seems there are some issues in certain rooms that need to be addressed.

Location

9.0

The location of the hotel is wonderful, right on the town square in a great and safe area. It was quite convenient for exploring the downtown area and offered a unique view of the water drainage of the sink in the premise restaurant Lola's.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was a bit disappointing, especially considering the high price for minimal offerings. While the quoted price was reasonable, the individual preparation of dishes led to longer waiting times when the place was busy. Also, not having certain essentials like water or cable TV was unexpected.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel facilities were functional, but there were some noticeable gaps such as empty vending machines with no drink options. The lack of amenities like room service, dry cleaning, and shops/commercial services made the overall stay less convenient.
