I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was beautifully located in front of a charming little park. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the experience memorable. However, the rooms could definitely use some improvement in terms of comfort, especially the pillows. Also, the dining options were a bit limited, which was a letdown. Overall, it's a nice place with a fantastic location but could enhance a few areas for a more luxurious feel.

While the rooms were clean and generally nice, I found the pillows quite uncomfortable for a five-star standard. The air freshener request wasn’t ideal either, as there was an unpleasant smell initially.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the staff was incredibly friendly, especially Ibu Maria who went out of her way to make my stay pleasant. The rooms were clean and featured a variety of TV channels, which was nice. However, the noise from the water pump was quite bothersome, and the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, it had its highs and lows, making it a decent stay but not without its issues.
