amazing facility, i asked for late checkout and they were very accomodating. the bed was SUPER comfy and room super clean only thing they can improve perhaps is may be consider changing sink of bathrooms - not dirty at all, but just had some crack in it. I am sure that is NOT the case every room. Overall, I would love to stay here AGAIn. so convienant to shopping and musjid. LOVED IT.
