The Staff are amazing !

Music loud :(. But is part of it I guess

6 / 10Average·May 2026

Location is great but for the loud music next door. Room was large and had some amenities. Had to ask the staff for missing amenities and room cleaning.

Cleanliness could be improved. Common kitchen area needs a stronger dishwashing detergent.
