the location was perfect as it was in the town center. the junior suite was really clean upon arrival. staff members provided helpful local information and advised on local attractions. i appreciated the friendly service i received , helpful staff.
my room was on the second floor, and noise was a notable issue. soundproof windows were not installed, so i heard conversations and loud motorbikes. nearby bars played loud music late into the night. the hotel's proximity to the domestic airport also meant i experienced some aircraft noise, revving motorbikes
