mixed feelings about this stay

the location was near public transportation, acceptable for getting around.

I found the room smaller than expected. It felt quite cramped, and that was a bit disappointing. the lack of space made it less comfortable for moving around.

The rooftop pool was a true highlight. I spent several afternoons there enjoying the views. the staff was consistently helpful with directions, and recommendations. the complimentary breakfast offered a decent variety, it included both western and local options.

The room felt quite small, especially with luggage. It was sometimes disruptive. the gym was fairly basic, the equipment seemed a little dated.
