acceptable stay, some issues present

dim lighting significant inconvenience

the location was quite good, i must admit.

The room felt quite dark. There was no natural light, and the artificial lighting was very dim, difficult to see properly at times. This was a significant inconvenience.

the staffs friendly smile greeted me warmly. my interior double room had air conditioning, a blessing on those warm days. i liked the clean towels that smelled of sunshine and the comfy bed that invited sweet dreams.

the water in the shower took a while to drain, it caused a little puddle on the floor.

Acceptable Stay, Could Be Better

best location convenient location quick response attentive staff large shower damp smell musty smell small room tight bathroom

The location is the best feature. It is very central and quite convenient. The staff are helpful to respond to requests quickly. The shower was large enough for me.

The room smelled of damp. The room was small, very small. The bathroom was also tight, and hard to move.
