Location is really good and the ambience is nice. Staff was helpful and friendly and the check-in and check-out was smooth. The breakfast had multiple options and was good. The main bed was OK but the sofa bed made crunching sound every time someone moved. The shower area really needs some work. The shower water was all over the bathroom and their was no fan to reduce the humidity - became foggy in few seconds.
