decent Stay but Some Issues

efficient processold tvrude staff

The check in process was efficient.

The tv was very old and kept shutting down every few minutes. House keepers didn't empty the rubbish bins. I had to call about it. The reception staff attitude was a little rude, lacking basic greetings.

basic roommilk absence

my stay wasn't without its problems. i found the room to be quite basic. additionally, there was no milk provided on the second day, a detail i find necessary for my morning tea. the lack of this small amenity was disappointing.
