i found the hotel provided early check-in, greatly appreciated. the breakfast offered an excellent selection. the staff consistently demonstrated accommodation . i found the cleanliness of the room to be perfect.
i noticed the absence of readily available local shops nearby to purchase essential items like water. a quick trip to a supermarket required crossing a busy road. this posed a minor inconvenience.

Wallpaper was peeling in rooms and corridors , the interior looked a bit tired. I reported our noisy aircon , but the hotel found nothing wrong. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were much cheaper in town , the prices were HIGH.
