delicious breakfast helpful staff old bedspread unpleasant odor

The staff arranged tuk-tuks quickly for a fair price. The included breakfast was delicious. It was really helpful to have such service.

The bedspread seemed old. The pillow covers also did not seem fresh. I noticed an unpleasant odor in the room. There were no tissues provided.
