"We had a okay stay although we did not like that the A/C, lights, and plugs could only be turned on by inserting your card into the slot in the room. So if you leave, all the plugs and A/C stop working, no charging anything while you are out and about and a hot room when you get back. The rooms were a bit dusty and the view was not as great as we thought it would be. The staff was nice and helpful whenever we needed a taxi, the food could have been better. Again, it was an okay stay, but we probably wouldn’t pick this place again."
