Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Renovated bathroom was well appointed. The bed was very comfortable
Negative: The air conditioning did not work despite many resets by the onsite manager and ourselves. It is summer and we faced sunset so the room was sweltering. The curtains did not cover windows completely and what coverage there was hung all over the floor. The toilet in the renovated bathroom was not fixed to the wall securely and teetered when you sat down.
Summary: $273 paid for the night was unfortunately not the value we got from the accommodation
