I had a decent stay for two nights at a budget-friendly hotel close to Adam's Fountain. The rooms were satisfactory but lacked air conditioning, and while the breakfast was good, I didn't explore the other amenities much. Overall, for the price, it was a reasonable option, despite the decor being a bit outdated.

My experience at the hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained, and the food served was absolutely delicious. However, my stay started on a negative note due to some issues with the initial room I was given. That being said, the management quickly resolved the situation. Although the suite I booked was in the basement, limiting the view, overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Ponmari Residency was a perfect choice for me. The staff was extremely polite and the food was delicious, making my stay wonderfully relaxing. However, I did encounter some issues with the bathroom smell and the need for a heater at night, which detracted from the overall experience. A little more attention to room details could take this place to the next level.
