I didn’t like the amenities, it felt like an old room with a weird smell as well even though it was clean. The shower is something I didn’t like as well, it wasn’t pleasant to use and it was either too hot or too cold. Also, I didn’t like the fact that we found a dead cockroach in the hall. Despite that, Staff was great and the hotel had a cute and quite vibe, something I really appreciated.
