I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and spacious rooms, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The location is convenient, providing easy access to town, but it is a bit far from nightlife. The dining options were decent, but I felt that the breakfast lacked variety. Overall, it was good value for money, despite a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located right in the heart of Georgetown, making it easy to explore local attractions. My room was clean and modern, providing a comfortable stay, but there were some issues with the service that left me a bit disappointed. The dining options were decent, but not quite up to par, especially with the breakfast selection. Overall, I felt the price was fair for what I received, but the Wi-Fi should have been included.
