adequate stay but some issues
friendly staffcentralized air conditioningno refrigerator
the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
The air conditioning seemed centrally controlled. I could not adjust the temperature in my room. there was also no refrigerator provided. I found it unusual to have to pay extra for one. storage space was also lacking, with minimal drawers or wardrobe space for clothes.

Satisfactory Hotel Stay
friendly staffcoffee machineloud musicnearby bars
The breakfast included a nice coffee machine. I enjoyed the wonderful view from the top floor. All staff members were friendly. They were also helpful .
The hotel could be noisy at times. I found it difficult to relax and sleep due to the loud music from nearby bars. The music played from 9 PM to 3 AM. I had to use earplugs to get some rest.
