I had a mixed experience at Port View City Hotel. The staff were generally helpful and the room was decent, but I encountered several issues, including a noisy location and an unsatisfactory breakfast. Still, for the price, it offered some value. I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it gets the job done for budget travelers.
