pleasant but not really good stay

central location convenient location swimming pool key attractions kitchen smell mattress quality insects issue

i found the central location very convenient. the proximity to key attractions was a definite plus. the swimming pool was a welcome amenity after a day of exploring. i noted it had ample space.

i did observe insects in the juice jar during the breakfast buffet.. that was concerning. the room smelled slightly of the kitchen, especially in the mornings. i also found the mattress to be of lower quality than expected.
