Absolutely loving my stay at this stylish new hotel! The spacious room, modern design, and plush bedding made it feel like a true retreat in the city. No trace of construction smell — just clean, fresh comfort. Staffs are very attentive and helpful! it’s just a short walk to the famous Welcome Seafood & Filipino market. Will visit again!
