The hotel was centrally located. A short walk got me to the main bus station and the city center. the staff was also very cute and professional. i especially liked how easy it was to check in and out. the room had everything i needed for a comfortable night.
The room i stayed in needed some tlc. I noticed water on the kitchen floor. it seemed to be dripping from the air conditioning unit, and that was a bit inconvenient.
