Hillside Gardens

I’m not sure I’d stay there again. The customer service was above average, though, staff were enthusiastic and happy to help or listen. It cost about 21,000, which wasn’t especially cheap. The AC in my first room didn’t cool, so they eventually moved me. In the second room, shower water sat in the drain and I had to rush so it wouldn’t overflow into the room. I called about it before leaving in the morning, and they fixed it.

It’s a quiet, fairly secluded spot, but Google Maps sent me to the wrong place twice, so it took a while to find. They should update the map details to make it easier for first-time visitors.

The place feels more like a home than a hotel, with a very homely structure. I also liked seeing art throughout. The receptionist, though, wasn’t as welcoming as I’d expect.

The receptionist was nice, but I left unhappy with the hotel service. I checked in on Tuesday night and was told only the studio room, room 205, was available for 40k, more than the price I’d seen online. It was late, so I had no choice but to stay. In the morning they said that room didn’t include breakfast. A 40k room with no breakfast? Even other hotels’ 20k rooms include it 😏😏 They need to do better.
