A good stay for the price. However, we had someone trying to follow us to our room or even the restaurant inside the building, which was unsafe. And the staff mentionned that those people are like that and they are in the lobby everyday. However, the staff was good and they escorted us safely.

My bed was left unmade when room was cleaned. Card left stating reason was personal belongings left on bed. My pyjamas! I’m not too sure where I am supposed to leave them? Replace in suitcase? A 33 year career in aviation has given me over 7,000 hotel nights. Never seen this before. Three associates with equal experience agree.
