“Blending international standards with local charm is a tricky balance, and while attempts are made, reports suggest the execution can be inconsistent. The business facilities seem well-equipped, but some maintenance and service concerns need addressing for a seamless experience. While the location offers cultural proximity, improvements are needed to truly recommend it for a worry-free stay.”
