I appreciated the hotel staff. Daniel, the Shift Manager, answered my questions with a smile. He always went further to make sure I was happy. The room also had cleanliness every day, it's very important. The hotel swimming pool was nice, I liked it.

Bathroom towels had large holes sometimes. I didn't feel very well about that.
