Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff was average. Property was very clean. Bed was comfy. AC worked great. The biggest issue was how noisy the main road is next to the building and it’s literally right on that road. If your room faces that side then the loud cars and trucks might disturb you. That’s the only reason I won’t go back.
