My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and nice, equipped with amenities like a refrigerator, but it was disappointing that they were not equipped with full FIFA World Cup games. The service was friendly, although we had to wait until 4 pm to get our room. The hotel's location was convenient, near a shopping mall and within walking distance to various food options. The dining experience had a good variety for a two-day stay but was lacking for lunch and dinner, needing improvement in quality and variety.

I found the hotel to be conveniently located, offering free parking at Starcity and being close to a mall and a variety of food options within a short walking distance. The rooms were unfortunately infested with tiny ants, which was off-putting, but the service was friendly and helpful.
