The room was spacious and clean. Everything was within a short walk from my room.

The staff was unfriendly and unaccommodating! I told a client to come by for a business proposal and gave the reception his car details. the security didn't have his details when he arrived and didn't let him in. The room phone didn't work. I made over five attempts to call, and she still asked for the same details I had already given. My client couldn't wait, and I lost a big deal.

i encountered some issues that detracted from my stay. the room i was given had terrible soundproofing (i could hear every footstep from the room above). also, if a neighbor smoked, the smell permeated into my room, lingering unpleasantly. the rooms felt a bit dated overall.
