Everyone in the hotel were super helpful and friendly. My flight was badly delayed so I was very late getting to the hotel but that wasn’t an issue. Breakfast is simple but very tasty and fresh. Team there in the morning and very nice and friendly. My room was very clean, basic layout, very comfortable mattress and a piping hot shower. Location is fantastic.

A/c wasnt working. Staff knew about it when we checked in. Never told us. When we asked to come fix it, did not believe it was not working. In the end, gave us one table fan to use. Did not offer discount until we asked. Hotel wasn't cheap 500 USD for a night. Hardly worth it.
