The first impression was good, but the basic water and service conditions were not good.. The coffee maker shown in the picture and the bathroom were leaking and there was no vent, so it was stuffy.

Upon arrival checking our room. I found blood stains on the pillow case. It took about an hour for house keeping to come and change it but she was very friendly. We also got stuck on the elevator luckily someone from another floor called the elevator so it could open. The lobby area was beautiful and clean but the rooms were just basic
