We stayed here for 4 nights. The location was perfect, staff was friendly and the room was cleaned everyday. I really liked the decor, the air conditioning worked perfectly and there’s a fan. Only complain is we stayed at the top of the building so there were many steps however we really enjoyed our stay here.
