Balanced Stay Experience

excellent facilitiesgreat locationcomfortable bedundersized air conditioningsmall tablebathroom maintenance
The facilities were excellent. The location was also great. The TV streamed Netflix. This was fantastic. The bed was comfortable.
The air conditioning was undersized for my room with a high ceiling. There was only a small table provided. The bathroom needed maintenance, and the previous repairs were not well done.
