Pros:

Comfortable stay, good location. Handy to shops.

Cons:

Check-in wasn't smooth. No reception and no instructions on where to collect the keys. We were initially informed the room is not ready or available during check-in by mistake causing anxiety.

Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Bathroom needs renovation. The adjustable shower head kept falling flat against the wall so that I had to hold it up to have a shower. Also, the shower leaked all over the floor, even though the shower door was shut, soaking the bath mat.

Everything was fine.
