direct accesswater bottle systemcrisp sheets
the hotel offered direct access from the airport, a big plus after a long flight. i found a hydration station with a water bottle system, a feature i really liked. also, the room was clean with crisp sheets.
The signage for room service was unclear. I had to contact reception via whatsapp to locate the correct number.

the buffet breakfast was decent.
The check-in line was unbelievably long and slow. I managed to get a room eventually. the price is a joke for such a basic hotel, no complimentary bottled water is provided.
