Decent Stay with Some Issues
spacious roomcockroach problemdifficult lock
The room was spacious, acceptable.
The bathroom was full of flying ants and small cockroaches. I could not locate a window in the bathroom, so their point of entry remained a mystery. The lock on the door was very difficult to open.

Acceptable, but certain aspects need improvements
hot roomcockroach infestation
The room seemed like a sauna. I asked for a fan, they told me none were available. This felt substandard. The bathroom hosted a colony of flying ants and small cockroaches. I suspect they emerged from a mysterious hole since the bathroom lacked a window.

The staff proved helpful. I needed assistance getting into my room once! The shower was quite good, and toiletries were provided. Breakfast stood out as one of the best I have had when away from home. It was a real pleasure.
I noticed the menu was too extensive, potentially contributing to longer waiting times.

Friendly staff were eager to please guests, that was acceptable.
The food quality disappointed me more than usual. My vegetable curry included over boiled veg and white rice. It had zero curry flavor. I think they forgot to add the curry sauce.
