Reviews
The entrance was seriously mediocre. It was a new place. Unfortunately, we were not satisfied at all. The room was very spacious, that was the only thing that was nice, but the interior was very black, it made us feel a little uncomfortable. There were young people smoking hookah when we entered the hotel, and I felt uncomfortable because I went with my girlfriend.
Location is good taxis are expensive room service you have to request for wifi not the beta so be prepared to watch on your phone
