The staff received positive remarks for their helpfulness and friendliness. However, many guests expressed concerns about cleanliness and noise levels, especially during weekends, with some mentioning issues like outdated furniture and inadequate amenities.

Cons (-) Showers are only 2’x2’ which is quite small for my large American body. HVAC could be improved. Lots of noise some nights from the young people after the local clubs close.
