disappointed
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

The hotel had no water unfortunately due to perhaps a fault from Municipality side but I couldn't spend a night for that reason, I had to book another hotel which was a huge inconvenience on my side.
The air-condition was leaking internally on to the headboard had to change direction and use a towel to contain the leak for that short while that i was there.
