The room is pristine clean but some toiletries were not offered like facial tissue box, toothpaste & toothbrush. There is no bedroom slippers. There is no vanity kit. Breakfast is free but you have to eat the same kind of food for the duration of our trip which is 9 days. I also hope that they will put a mini fridge next time. The staffs are all very courteous & accomodating.

Great customer service and nice food!

The staff was so so nice. It was such a nice experience. Tharea is not the most pretty, but you felt so safe and welcome at the hotel. At first we didnt want to pay that much for "hotel breakfast", but after we saw it we decided to eat there everyday. It was very nice, with grat variation. We also ordered room service, which also was great!
