Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Under Renovation"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Staff really friendly. Had to change room due to the fact that shower was dirty upon arrival, draw broken and bed looks like someone was sleeping in it. Staff needs to inspect room before guest arrive. Front desk staff very pleasant. Kudos to Tavia.
