admirable hotel stay

helpful stafflovely pooleasy gym

i found the staff very cute and helpful when i asked for anything. the lovely pool included a relaxation zone. the gym was easily accessible and useful on a rainy day. i enjoyed the spa quality.

the carpets had a musty smell. this made the indoor spaces and corridors slightly unpleasant, and they used strong jasmine perfumes to mask the odor, not ideal.
