The staff were very friendly and helpful. I found them to be quite efficient. the hotel offers a continental breakfast, quite decent. my room was basic, clean, and tidy. It met my expectations for a simple stay. i thought the location was good.
The shower head in my original room was broken, and it dripped constantly. It resembled chinese torture.
