a grateful guest's perspective

staff honesty convenient location
i am deeply grateful for the staff's honesty. mustafa and the team were very good too locate and return my engagement jewel i had left behind. the hotel's location is also very convenient it allowed for easy access to many attractions.
during my stay i found that the noise from adjacent rooms and hallways was a significant issue. i was in room 305 and it was difficult to have a restful sleep because of it. i think soundproofing could improve the stay.
