Theresa

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was satisfactory. The air conditioning was excellent. The bed was moderately comfortable, and I would have preferred it to be more so. The bathroom, however, was not to my liking. The bathtub appeared unclean, but there was a coding on its surface that was gradually fading. Additionally, the shower curtain rod was positioned incorrectly due to a broken side, causing the curtain to hit the showerhead during use, which was uncomfortable. Despite these minor inconveniences, the overall experience was decent. I appreciated the private balcony, which provided a scenic view of the sunset. The presence of cable television further enhanced the entertainment options.
