"A peaceful and quiet hidden gem tucked near the airport. Surrounded by lush greenery right on the riverbank with nice cool breeze. The rooms are spotless with excellent air conditioning."
"Fast stable Wi-Fi (over 25 Mbps) which was crucial for my remote laptop work before my flight. The pool by the river is super relaxing, and the price is far better value than nearby chain hotels."
