During my stay at Zowar International Hotel, I experienced a mix of good and bad. I checked in early and received my room quickly, which was a relief. The breakfast spread had a decent variety, and I appreciated the nearby convenience of both a cafe and restaurant. However, the room and bathroom were not as clean or well-maintained as I had hoped, dampening the overall experience. 🚪🛏️
