8/10 Good

"Overall, my stay at the hotel was good, and I had a pleasant experience. However, I believe they should pay a little more attention to cleanliness. The bathroom was a bit dirty, and the shower curtain had a terrible smell and visible mold. Other than that, everything was good. With better attention to cleaning and maintenance, the experience could be even better."
