The room felt small. i also found it a little 'tired'! at that price, i would have expected air-conditioning and a fridge in the room. neither of these were there. the fan didn't really help. The heat made it hard to sleep.

Acceptable Stay, Problems in the Restaurant

small roominattentive staff
The rooms seemed a bit small. There was also nowhere to put a suitcase. The restaurant service was poor with inattentive staff at the bar. I found that I had to approach them twice to order drinks.
