Disliked: Amenities
We really loved the location and the staff behaviour. We didn’t explore the breakfast/restaurant. The room was too hot on the check in day however the staff managed it by giving us 2 extra table fans without any hesitation. Cleanliness was not excellent and the house keeping but really worth for the price. We would definitely choose again.
