During my recent stay at Hotel On The Park, I found it to be a decent budget option with a few pros and cons. The rooms were modern and comfortable, and the location was fantastic, just a stone's throw from the vibrant Florida Road. However, the reception area could use some love, and the lack of refreshments on-site was disappointing. Overall, it was an average experience, but I believe it has the potential to shine with some improvements.
