My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. While the ambiance was nice and the staff was generally helpful, my experience was marred by some serious issues with the management and the overall service quality. I had a frustrating time with the room changes and noise levels, which could definitely be improved. The dining experience at Mahogany restaurant stood out, though, with really delicious food. Overall, there’s potential here, but there are definitely areas that need attention.

I was put in an old building initially, and after moving, I found that the air conditioning and safe didn’t work in my new room. The noise from the corridors and nearby guests was quite bothersome, making it hard to relax.

Service

Service was hit or miss; while some staff members were attentive, the overall experience was frustrating due to the slow response and lack of follow-through on issues I raised.

The facilities could use some upgrades, as they felt a bit outdated. The pool area was nice but not enough to elevate the overall experience.

However, the Wi-Fi was a bit slow at times, and there were minor issues with the air conditioning in my room. Overall, it was a pleasant visit, but there’s room for improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, enjoying the spacious rooms and modern decor. The staff displayed a welcoming attitude, although there were moments when service felt a bit uncoordinated. The dining options were good, especially the breakfast, but the weekend pool parties made it less enjoyable at times. Overall, it’s a solid choice, especially for its value and updated amenities.
