halaal egg stationunfriendly staffnoise disturbance
the breakfast was good with a separate halaal egg station for muslim travelers.
The staff was not as friendly here as at another branch i visited. I had to carry my own luggage up the front steps, frustrating. plus, i was woken up at 1:30am by other guests smoking, talking, and laughing loudly near room 110. it took about 45 minutes after i called the front desk for the noise to stop!!!

fantastic stay

free shuttlesafe areapoor aircon
The breakfast was excellent and was included. a free bus shuttle took me to a nearby shopping mall. the area looked safe. A police station was across the road.
the shower in my first room and the aircon were not in good order. i asked for a late check out but i was abruptly turned down.
