The hotel was very good. The staff is quite square, meaning they don’t flexibilize anything. Overall everything is in good shape and condition. There are several options of restaurants, but only 1 belongs to the hotel; all others are independent. The breakfast is buffet style for USD 25 per person, but to be honest I didn’t think the options and variety justify the price.

Very nice place but very poor lighting in rooms. Room was rundown and floor wasn’t swept but otherwise clean. Volume on tv was on one setting which was very high and not able to lower it. If you need towels, ice, or anything else you have to get it from front desk. Staff was excellent and tried their best to accommodate our group ! I would stay again but make sure the room was cleaner.

Outdated rooms

Rooms are outdated and need renovation. Cleaning was done very late (early evening) and one day not even done. Sinks are yellow due to long use. Airco was leaking (above the pillow of the bed) and spiders web was not removed for a long time.
