I had an okay experience at the hotel during my recent business trip. The breakfast and dinner served were quite good and appreciated. However, I noticed that the cleanliness could really use some improvement, especially in the bathroom where there were traces from previous guests. A thorough cleaning could elevate this hotel significantly for future stays.

I stayed at this older hotel for a quick business trip and found it to have potential if it were cleaner. The breakfast and dinner service was surprisingly good, featuring a mix of Western and Asian cuisines. However, the cleanliness in the bathroom left much to be desired, as there were hairs left behind from previous guests. If they addressed the cleanliness issues, this place could definitely be an excellent choice for future stays.
