spotlessly clean large shower area lovely toiletries loud collector parcel locker single towel
i arrived early and expected to wait. the receptionist checked with housekeeping and i checked in right away. the room was lovely, spotlessly clean, and very spacious. the bathroom was well equipped with lovely toiletries and a large shower area.
There was only one large towel in the room. I realized this after the other person showered. the car park has a parcel locker, and the collector at 4 a.m. was very loud. a parked coach ran its engines for 30 minutes before leaving.

some issues noted

noisy air con insufficient curtain
the air conditioning unit made noise throughout the night. i did not sleep well because of this constant noise. the curtain let light in during the morning because part of the window was not covered. perhaps the hotel should examine the window shape and install a curtain that bends around the entire window, preventing light from entering.
