Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at the restaurant. The dinner I had, especially the curry and aubergine spaghetti, was beyond my expectations. Breakfast offered a well-organized buffet with plenty of choices, ensuring a great start to my day.

The staff were exceptionally accommodating, especially with early breakfast arrangements. The location was close to the airport, which was a big plus, although the surrounding area felt a bit congested. The facilities and dining options could use some improvement, but considering the value for money, I would definitely recommend it.
