There needs to be a few things fixed by maintenance. For instance, my shower door handle fell off. Could use some cosmetic touch ups like chipping paint, but overall very nice. I loved my king suite. Reasonably priced, too.

Not a great experience

I guess I was put in a discount room because I requested to be on a low floor and the front desk lady said no. She had a really bad attitude as well. The room seem to face a place called 3000 bar and the noise coming from that area was loud. Also, the room had a loud buzzing sound in it. I think it was the AC unit. Oh, yeah, you can’t control the temperature in your unit. You’ll have to call the front desk to get them to adjust your temperature.
