helpful staff efficient check proper housekeeping inaccessible balcony large air conditioning unit bubble bath
the staff was really helpful, especially sameer at reception. checking in and checking out was efficient. housekeeping was proper, and i liked that.
The room was advertised as having a balcony, but i couldnt open the door. it was opened after i signed a paper. it was impossible to get onto the balcony as a very large air conditioning unit was placed in front. the bath and shower had a bubble in the middle. It seemed patched at some point. the base moved when one stood on it.
