It was overall super clean and spacious. There were stains on my bed sheet. I wish the breakfast was better, and I think they shouldn’t mention they provide breakfast at all because that doesn’t count. The staff were super nice and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay. The view is beautiful. Staff are great especially the male receptionist, sorry I wasn’t able to get his name. It’s super clean and hd no issues at all. The only thing that was missing in the room is a microwave. That is one of the most basic needs of guests, fridge and microwave. There is only one microwave that’s been used and I need to go out of the room across the building just to re heat some food. By the time i got back in the room, the food is no longer hot. But over all, our stay was great.
