the location proved suitable for nearby restaurants and transport hubs.
the air conditioning Unit in my room malfunctioned completely , made the conditions unbearable. the Front desk representative seemed puzzled instead of helpful, delaying a room change despite the late hour. I found this lack of immediate action unacceptable.

The hotel ensured an early check-in. A lovely gesture indeed. the room had a nice layout and felt impeccably clean and refreshed. two shower heads are in the bathroom, a rainfall shower and a handheld fixture. i enjoyed the breakfast. While pastries were low near closing, it added a touch of endearing imperfection.
