adequately rated stay
rooftop restaurant helpful staff small room inconsistent air conditioning
The rooftop restaurant offered a beautiful view during breakfast. i particularly enjoyed the variety of food options available there. the hotel staff was consistently friendly and helpful. the turkish bath at the spa was a fun and good experience too.
My room was quite small, and it was difficult to fully open my suitcases. this limited the space i had to move around. the air conditioning was also a bit inconsistent. It was hard to maintain a comfortable temperature.
