Acceptable stay, but some issues noticed

attentive bar staffnoisy air conditioninglimited selection

The staff at the bar were attentive, providing quick service.

The room felt a bit dated. The furniture showed some wear, and the bathroom fixtures looked old. The air conditioning was quite noisy and difficult to regulate, IT kept cycling on and off all night. The breakfast buffet was VERY basic and the selection was limited.
