"Our room was cleaned everyday even though some days we left later (around mid-day). The staff we happy to help and had great attitudes. The room was clean, had a mini fridge which was a great plus for keeping our drinks cool before heading out in the summer heat. The Air-con was good, but it would be slightly nicer if it went a little cool and didn't slow down at random points."
