Clean, comfortable bed, but bit hot
Have been to this hotel previously. Bed is super comfortable and room is clean. The only thing that makes me prefer trying other locations is the fact that you are unable to use AC all through the year. Even when you can use AC though it can still be quite hot in the room. Luckily I asked for a fan and that helped but in the summer I have decided to stay away or I am unable to sleep
