I was very happy with the executive room. the tv had netflix working perfect and in english, which i liked. the bed felt super comfy. the ac worked well and i could leave it running at night. It wasn't pointing over the bed, a big plus for me.
i think the shower head had some dirt. the rain shower head was full of dirt and lime scale.

Acceptable Location, Disappointing Cleanliness

convenient locationdirty floorsnoticeable odor
The hotel's location proved convenient for accessing key attractions.
Our room wasn't cleaned once . The bathroom had a noticeable odor, and the floors seemed dirty. Only the beds received daily attention. I found the lack of thorough cleaning disappointing.
