superb stay!

rooftop barsuper clean roomextended hoursfaulty air conditioning
I really enjoyed the rooftop bar. The bartenders were MAGNIFICENT! they clearly love what they do, and they're very accommodating. also, the housekeepers kept our room spotlessly clean. i liked that the pool was open for long hours. That was a huge plus with the weather being scorching.
the air conditioning in my room wasn't working properly when i arrived. a technician fixed it but the room was still uncomfortably warm.

Acceptable Location, Noticeable Shortcomings

convenient locationpoor maintenancepoor soundproofing
The location proved convenient for accessing various points of interest.
My room lacked proper maintenance. Fixtures were loose. Housekeeping was subpar-dust accumulated, and surfaces weren't properly cleaned. sound isolation was poor, so I could clearly hear noise from neighboring rooms and the hallway-very annoying!
