Overall good stay just did not like that our last night was really noisy outside our room and the big pot hole on the side of the hotel and room was not serviced on our second day and the toilet paper could have been better. But overall we enjoyed our stayed.

Liked: Cleanliness
Overall, the property was slightly outdated, but the room had been renovated and was clean. A couple of areas that could be improved: The hot water supply was insufficient, forcing us to take cold showers. Guests are required to wear a wristband throughout their stay, which can be inconvenient as it remains on even during showers or when going out. Additionally, when our wristband went missing, the front desk gave us a hard time, despite us having our room keys.
