Great location

Awful experience

nlewis_st 3/27/2025 TripAdvisor review

Awful experience. My friend got double charged last time he was there so the hotel gave him a voucher for free drinks. When he tried to use the voucher this time, the hotel staff were so unfriendly and unhelpful and said he was supposed to have used it when he was leaving even though he was literally checking out when they gave him the voucher and at the time the hotel said he could use it at the next stay. One staff member specifically (Shibin) was extremely condescending and disrespectful. I would not recommend staying at this hotel considering how poorly they (Shibin in particular) treat their customers.

Nice Stay
