the room was spacious. the cleanliness was good. the wifi worked fine (no issues at all). the food was nice too.
the pool area is not appealing. it is near the fish market. it was smelly because of the fish market and noisy because of the airplanes.

food optionsmusky scentexhaust fan
the breakfast had a good variety of food options from western to asian, acceptable.
My first impression wasn't great. The room had a musky, old carpet scent instead of a luxurious one. the bathroom lacked an exhaust fan, so there was a smell of dried sink or drain whenever the place dried up. i also found toilet paper inside the toilet bowl in my newly entered bathroom, which shouldn't be the standard.
