The staff is very kind and friendly, the location is very convenient, and the surroundings are charming and peaceful. The only thing that isn't particularly well-maintained is the facilities—perhaps due to wear and tear; the AC in my room was broken and not functioning at 100%, and the furniture and shelves were a bit battered.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I picked a non-smoking room to avoid the smell. The room smelled like cigarettes and marijuana smoke even though it’s a non-smoking room. I think the smell is coming from outside the building through AC vents. We wanted to turn off the AC but buttons are missing so we couldn’t control it, it was running the whole time, one of the filters was also missing. Beds were clean.
