⭐⭐⭐☆☆ The hotel was average overall. The bedding was comfortable, and the food was okay. However, it was disappointing to see a cat inside the dining area while guests were eating. This raised concerns about cleanliness and hygiene and affected the dining experience. I hope the hotel improves this in the future to provide a more comfortable environment for guests.
