4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was very small, it was hard to get around the bed with a suitcase. The price was quite high for the type of room. We had to pay extra for breakfast and they charged an extra fee for the second person. The staff were friendly and helpful, however our room was above the kitchen so we could not open the window and the room smelled of heavily spiced food. We paid $592 for 2 nights, definitely not worth the price.
