Easy check in. Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfy. Our room had 2 entrance points, the 2nd was a sliding door that opened up to a courtyard/enclosed area...small playground and table & chairs. Beautifully lit up at night time. I liked it.

We had an issue with the entrance door. We shut & locked it at night but it was ajar in the morning (nothing missing). We then shut it and it was opened again by 2 strangers who appeared to be "opening the wrong unit". I tried to report it to reception upon checkout but the lady was foreign and didn't appear to understand what I was saying.
