The room had a comfortable bed and good temperature control (it made sleeping very easy). i also liked the supermarket onsite. It was very convenient. the staff was helpful. Check-in was smooth.
i didn't like that rooms lacked a water hose in the toilets. also, the cups and glasses were not very clean (i didn't want to use them). we mentioned our honeymoon, but there was no acknowledgment.
