Acceptable Stay
helpful staff convenient location small room uncomfortable bed
I appreciated the helpfulness of the staff. The location was also convenient for accessing nearby restaurants and markets. The cafe on the 5th floor was a nice amenity. It was relaxing.
The swimming pool's depth is not suitable for families with kids. The rooms felt quite small. This limited the overall comfort. the beds were not very comfortable.

The breakfast buffet included varied options daily. bus stops near the hotel made transportation easy. bottled water and snacks were provided in the room. This was thoughtful.
The pool area seemed somewhat run down. it was mostly in shade after 9:30 am. i could not use the sauna because of maintenance. Limited hours for women were available.
