Staying at Promenade Service Apartment had its ups and downs. While I appreciated the strategic location near shopping and dining options, I encountered persistent issues like unpleasant odors from the toilets and a somewhat shabby exterior. Overall, it was a decent choice for budget travelers, but I wouldn't recommend it for long stays.
