Everything was great until we asked for an ice bucket to keep our water bottles cold. There are no fridge in the rooms. Although they FINALLY gave us an ice bucket, they outright refused multiple times. They told us we could have one glass of ice. Around 10pm, the office staff switched off the internet, phones, etc. and left the premises. The security guards said this was because there was a storm. I was trying to work… Overall, it’s a nice place. The food was good at the restaurant. I found that some of the staff would benefit from external customer service training.

Air conditions not working. All old and not maintained. Changed room twice and at the end they had to put a noisy heater. Also rooms are not cleaned properly. The ashtray in the room wasn’t cleaned from the previous stay and in another room a mouse jumped out of the air condition. Big ants are everywhere.
