I would rate it at most a four star hotel. Staffs are unfriendly. Front desk took forever with checking in/out. Rooms are old and need refurbishing. Not a convenient location if you’re looking for food. There are 3 restaurants inside the hotel but they’re only open after 6pm. Nothing is close by its vicinity
