3 Star

If you're looking for a quick stopover for a couple of nights, Aria is the perfect choice. While some rooms can be noisy due to the main road passing by, the overall quality is more than good enough for the price. The rooms on the lower floors may lack a view but they are still decent. The breakfast options could be better, but it's still satisfactory. However, the basic rooms with twin beds are not recommended for couples. The pillows also leave something to be desired. There have been some issues with faulty air conditioning, but the staff promptly dealt with the situation. On the downside, some guests have had unpleasant encounters with the manager who came off as aggressive. Despite these flaws, Aria is a decent option if you're on a budget and don't expect too much from the facilities and services.
