Overall, it was very good, but the food service at the pool was very slow. They should have put other customers' orders on hold if the current one hadn't arrived yet. It's a shame. Please fix this. Everything else is already very good.

The room and bathroom smelled bad, and the sheets and pillowcases were very smelly, as if they hadn't been changed after the previous guest checked out. My body was itchy and covered in hives. Issues like this should be addressed carefully, as they affect guest comfort. There's an additional charge for breakfast if you bring two children over 6 years old. The variety and taste of the food are average, as is typical for a 3-star hotel. Please be more careful with the eggs. I asked for boiled eggs but was given raw ones, fortunately I hadn't broken them.

Cozy place, because it's a long weekend, I finally wanted to try this hotel and yep, it's very satisfying. When I entered, the staff was very friendly, and the hotel itself is really a cozy place. I'll want to stay here again for my next staycation. Please keep having hotel promotions, especially on long weekends, xixixiw 😍

Ibis Hotels have had many setbacks, particularly in their room cleanliness. While you can't expect much from a room at that price, at least the sheets, pillowcases, and blankets should be changed upon check-out, not just cleaned. Let's restore the pleasant atmosphere and aroma of the past.
