the location was great! it was generally clean. the hotel manager was customer oriented and the staff were polite. i found the staff cute and accommodating, a big plus!
the shower cabin door didn't close properly. water went all over the bathroom every time i showered. the room was smaller than it looked in the photos online and that was disappointing. the room size was definitely an issue for me.
