Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The room was spacious and comfortable
Negative: For a 4 Star place you would expect better facilities. There is no pool and when the housekeeping refreshes your room they do clean properly. There was a dead fly on the table and after the room was cleaned the fly was still there. The drinking water is not replenished daily neither are the tea/coffee and milk.
Summary: For a 4 star hotel I expected more. The room was comfortable and spacious but this hotel needs more and better facilitie
