The views from my room showed how beautiful the area is with nearby parks and soaring hawks, egrets and swallows nearby. The nearby streets require you pay attention to your surroundings.

Am overall pleased with my stay. the staff were cooperative and welcoming. The location is wow Though problems could occur they should be fixed on time. I was a bit annoyed for not being able to enter my room whenever I wanted because of the problem with the room card was not fixed throughout my stay.

The property is centrally located, facilities are great. I didn't like the services, staff are rude no courtesy, trailed me when I was taking breakfast, tried to make me sign a document before I take breakfast despite telling staff that I'll pay after I finished breakfast.Water was cold, I was allowed to take a shower in alternative room which had hot water, while I was taking shower, house keeper came, knocked at the door, I couldn't hear because I was in a shower, house keeper then broke chain that secures the door while I was in shower room. Hotel appears to want customers money fast, offers poor services and no apologetic about it. I wouldn't recommend the facility for a friend unless there's much staff customer service care. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

Firstly, the staff were fabulous, trying their very best. Secondly, the property is fast running down. I moved into a room where the toilet flushing system has no water supply. Further, some parts of bathroom were missing (though by no means affecting the usage. Thirdly, the wifi is pretty poor, with no access in many parts of the bedroom. to resolve the water problem, the staff helped to move me to another room. However, the other problems existed. All in all, I think the issues are systemic management problems, probably trying to save money in many small ways. But still kudos to the staff who work to cope with the lapses.
