The location was VERY convenient, especially with the close proximity to local shops. The staff, particularly mr ali, was cooperative. I found it really helpful to have someone so readily available to assist with any queries or concerns i had.
The absence of fans and a fridge in the room posed a challenge, especially during warmer weather. It would have added significantly to the comfort of my stay.
