I stayed at the King Park hotel and had a somewhat mixed experience. While the location is reasonable and staff are generally helpful, the rooms left a lot to be desired due to cleanliness and odor issues. The breakfast was acceptable but unexciting, and the furniture in the room seemed dated. Overall, it might fit the budget-conscious but it's not my top recommendation.

The room was okay, but it had a persistent smell, likely from stale smoke, and was on the smaller side. It took a while for the air conditioning to properly cool down the room.

The breakfast was mediocre, with a limited selection mainly focused on Asian dishes. It served basic toast, fruit, and eggs, which was okay but could definitely be improved.

I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. While the location is decent with easy access to nearby food options, the service was lacking, especially for my family's needs. The rooms could use some improvements, as I found them quite cramped for a family. Overall, it's not a place I'd recommend if you want flexibility or assistance during your stay.

The hotel offers a decent stay with a good location for exploring the city, as everything is within walking distance. Rooms are clean and spacious but can feel a bit dated in places. The service was mostly pleasant, though I had a few hiccups during my stay. Dining options, especially for breakfast, could definitely be improved in variety. Overall, it's a reasonable choice for the price, but there are certainly areas that need attention.
