Loved my stay here, comfortable and clean. I did get sick when I ate at the restaurant both times. Also the guy at the front desk that spoke English as well was rude. Whenever he would be assisting me, he would be helping others at the same time. Whenever I came to the front desk and he was helping someone else he didn’t even speak to me. When I checked out, he didn’t even say thank you or anything. At the price you pay for this hotel you expect the customer service to be on point. Besides him, it was a good stay.
