good locationrude staffdirty room

the location was fine i guess, it put me kinda close to the shopping areas.

The staff was unbelievably rude, specially when i asked for an extra towel. The guy at the reception looked at me like i had asked for the moon. the room wasn't clean when i arrived even though they said it was ready. I saw someones leftover food in the fridge, gross. the room temperature was also off, i was freezing all the time.

The central location was convenient. The personnel was nice. I saw they have quick service. My beds were good. I found the shower good too.

The room wasn't clean when I arrived. They handed me keys, and told me all was ready. They said it was my fault. I came 5 minutes early.
