Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My Air Con didn't work, and I heard that others complained as well about theirs not working. Outside my room were 2 tables with people smoking, and it all could smell, so I had to shut it all up, and with no air conditioning, it was awful. I would never go back there.
