The things that can improve : the room condition (since the hotel become looks old), the staff coordination especially for buggy availability (if the hotel already provide the buggy please make sure the driver always ready and has a communication tools with the central, many times I should wait for long time untill I decided to just walk to the room).
The breakfast variation was really nice, please make sure you don't miss it.
