10/10 Excellent
"The hotel staff was very helpful when we identified that the air conditioning was not working. They changed our rooms, although the hotel was fully booked. The rooms could be cleaned better, especially the bathrooms. Overall, it was a nice stay, with a decent breakfast and great staff."
