I enjoyed the hotel so much that I even created a TikTok video about my stay. JP Collectables & Travel. The rooms were tidy and comfortable. They weren’t overly modern or luxurious, but they were simple and had everything we needed. The staff were great and very helpful. My friend had an issue with the air conditioning in their room, and the staff did their best to get the problem sorted. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay.
