I stayed for two nights and had a very disappointing experience. I requested a double bed at check-in, and the receptionist promised to move me the next day — but completely forgot. The sink was clogged from the start (I even showed them a photo), and despite being told it would be fixed, nothing was done. Shower pressure was also terrible. For the price I paid, I expected far better. Poor service and lack of basic maintenance — I would not recommend.

The staff was amazing, friendly, helpful and worthy of a 5 star property. The room layout was ok for an express, but the AC was non functional, and bath taps and shower were queer, for instance one had to turn the cold tap full circle multiple times for water but the hot tap once. The biggest issue was the heat in the room made sleeping difficult and ineffective.
