A reasonable stay

excellent location helpful staff incorrect amounts stressful experience
The location proved excellent for accessing various attractions. The staff were consistently polite and helpful (especially with directions). I appreciated the quietness of the room at night, ensuring restful sleep. The shower and toilet facilities worked well.
The hotel charged incorrect amounts initially, which required daily visits to the reception. I spent considerable time trying to resolve these issues (it was quite stressful). Eventually, the General Manager sorted it out on the last day. the experience was disappointing.

just an okay stay

cramped room shower temperature
The room felt cramped. there was barely any space to move around after i put my luggage down. the bathroom design was also odd. The layout seemed inefficient and the shower temperature was hard to regulate. it was either too hot or too cold, frustrating.
