Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
The service was……. lacking. The staff was not very helpful. It was like except for the restaurant staff nobody actually enjoyed their work so they did the bare minimum. This was the exact opposite of what we experienced at other hotels and guesthouses throughout our vacation. The good things were that the facilities were neat and in pretty good repair. There was a convenience store right off of the lobby, bus and train stations in easy walking distance, and the airport bus stopped right in front of the hotel. But if you wanted to actually spend time at the hotel this one is not it. The room was tiny.

The best thing about this hotel is that the airport bus stops right in front of the hotel and it's close to alot of restaurants. The hotel is dated and the tub has a big stain. The bed is hard and our comforter has a weird smell. The room is a decent size. I will nit stay at this hotel again

Loved my stay here

Loved staying here! The weather was beautiful. There is a convenience store across the street which is convenient. There was a desk in the room which was nice. Water, slippers, and robes. The cleaning lady was so kind, always checking on us and she was funny. The laundry room is a little bit creepy, but was still an adventure to wash my laundry. Convenient location and airport transfer. Felt very safe. Everything was clean. Only negative was that the microwave was in the laundry room so that was a bit inconvenient.

The walls between rooms were very thin and you could hear conversations of people in nearby rooms, who weren’t even talking loudly. The rooms are pretty tight, but were a good value.
