Mixed Feelings
friendly staffloud entertainmentstale smoke
The staff was very friendly and tried their best.
My room was situated above the bar, I did find the noise from the nightly entertainment too loud. The air conditioning had a strange smell. It was like stale smoke and did cause me breathing problems. Getting around was difficult because all areas required using stairs.
