The staff was friendly and the hotel is clean. However, this is certainly not a 4 star hotel. The room furnishing is worn, the bed is very uncomfortable, the a/c system is archaic and the bathroom is sub-standard.

Expedia was only problem

When I purchased the room on Expedia, it stated that it came with breakfast. When I got to the hotel they told me it was not included, and I know for a fact I chose it that way. After contacting Expedia they told me there was nothing they could do :-) the hotel staff gave us free breakfast and said it’s not the first time at that Expedia has done this to their guests, something fails in the transfer of information, i.e. breakfast. Great Hotel, definitely look forward to staying there again!
