I had a decent stay at Parkland Shade Hotel, where the close proximity to the airport and affordable rates were definite pluses. However, my standard room had a very small and uncomfortable bed, and the room service was quite slow with limited breakfast options. On the bright side, the staff was genuinely warm and made me feel at home. I’d consider returning, but I'll opt for a deluxe or superior room next time.

I stayed at Parkland Shade Hotel for eight nights, and while the affordability and proximity to the airport were great, the room I chose was quite small and the bed uncomfortable. The slow room service and limited breakfast options were drawbacks. However, the staff was wonderful, treating me like family. I'd consider returning, but definitely in a deluxe room next time.

I had quite a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were clean and I enjoyed the delicious breakfast, I had some issues with service and noise levels at night. The location felt a bit isolated, and I struggled with the Wi-Fi connection during my stay. Overall, it has potential, but improvements are definitely needed.

Facilities were basic but met my needs. The club was lively, which might appeal to younger crowd, but not conducive for those looking for quiet.

I had a mixed experience at the Shade Hotel. The room I stayed in was clean and met my needs, but it felt a bit far from attractions. The service was really inconsistent, especially toward locals, and the loud environment made it hard to relax. On the bright side, I enjoyed the delicious breakfast and the vibrant atmosphere at the K1 Clubhouse. Overall, it’s not the quiet place for a tranquil stay, but it has its moments of fun.

I found this place to be a bit removed from many attractions, but it was clean and provided all the basics I needed. The vibe at the K1 Clubhouse was really cool, perfect for socializing and having a good time. Just a heads up, if you're sensitive to noise while you sleep, this might not be the best option for you. The staff went above and beyond to help, and I absolutely loved the breakfast that was included!
