Good stay but hotel needs maintenance.
Pros:

The property does take very good care of guests and make the stay very comfortable the location is also very good

Cons:

The property really needs to do an upgrade , asking that premium amount per night and never doing upgrades and maintained can not be acceptable . There is heavy maintenance needed at that hotel
