Average Stay, Some Issues Noted

bed springs noisy fan

The staff in the dining room provided very pleasant service during my evening meal.

The room was not up to par. The bed springs were quite noticeable, affecting sleep quality. the window barely opened, just about 2cm, and the provided fan was too loud to use while sleeping.
