The room was okay as the facilities. It was hot, just needed an AC. Big bathroom appreciated. Good location and nice staffs.
I stayed in a female dorm. I was surprised that a male cleaner came to change the linens without annoncing hilmself and same for the bathroom. I took a shower and a male cleaner was moping the floor at 11pm. I thought it would be a girl. Just need an annoncement for no surprise or maybe he should wait if he knows someone was taking a shower. At least, it cleaned but i felt weird about it.
