The staff were very helpful. The beds offered comfortable rest. The garden provided a REALLY nice atmosphere for breakfast.
The air conditioning was outdated. It was very noisy. The performance was poor. The bathtub was small. It made showering difficult.

cute staffrooftop poolbathroom update
The staff were cute and helpful. The location was perfect! the rooftop pool was a real gem. the a/c in the room worked very well. I slept comfortably every night.
I found that the bathroom could use some updating. It seemed a bit outdated compared to the rest of the room.
