the staff was so courteous, especially the lady who cooked breakfast. she gave me bus information and tourist info. she lent me an umbrella. the room was nice, with comfortable beds, and the restaurant food was amazing!!!
the blanket felt so old, and there was no duvet, just a blanket. no water was available in the room, a real letdown. the bathroom fan was very noisy, disturbing my sleep at night.
