The staff is friendly but the room is not very clean and very stuffy since the ac unit does not work. Though it was reported and the “exchanged” the unit but it’s replaced with one that seems to be in worse condition. I tried asking for a different room with a working unit but seems more a hassle as they just offer to “fix” or exchange it instead. Though the room is non-smoking but the door is not very seal so people smoking outside will come into the room. Also there were a couple little gecko that showed up. The mini fridge in the room does not really work either but at least there’s a microwave so if you need to heat up food and get the room more hot and stuffy, it will get the job done.
