I loved the hotel with everything they provided. If you stay a couple of nights, they dont mind to clean your room at all. The only complaint is probably the refrigerator, it just wasnt cold enough, especially i set the temperature to the lowest, unfortunately it did not work. I still give this place a solid 9.5 out of 10.
