I had a great experience at this hotel due to its ideal location close to everything I needed, especially for the dragonboat races. The rooms are modern and compact, making for a cozy stay. However, the thin walls made it easy to hear noises from neighboring rooms, and some areas felt a bit warm due to the air conditioning not working well. Overall, it was a good budget choice for my needs.

Overall, my stay at Ellis Ecotel was a mixed bag. The location is excellent, being so close to everything I needed for my business trip, but the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. While the amenities were reasonable, the customer service could use some improvement, and the overall comfort was less than ideal. Ultimately, it's a decent spot if you just need a place to crash, but I wouldn't recommend it for a relaxing stay.

I decided to stay at this hotel due to its proximity to various local eateries. Upon arrival, I was disappointed to find there was no free shuttle service from the airport.

The location is definitely a plus, although the rooms leave a bit to be desired in terms of comfort and soundproofing.
