mediocre stay WITH limited AMENITIES

dirty fansmall balcony
the room i received was not up to standards. a small balcony featured only one chair, though the room was reserved for two. i observed the ventilation fan in the bathroom was dirty. the staff were helpful, the high price does not justify the level of quality.
