Some Staff Quibbles
Visitors remarked that the staff members are not well versed in English, so communication here may be a difficulty. Others remarked that the staff can come off as uninformed and at particular times rude and unhelpful.

Overcrowding Breakfast
While opinions on the breakfast were mixed, diners did remark that the breakfast line itself can get rather busy. Because of this, the area can feel crowded rather quickly. Based on visitors' comments you may feel a little claustrophobic at breakfast time.

Updating May Be in Order
According to some guests, odds and ends within the guestrooms could use some attention. Visitors cited issues such as heat and air conditioning that didn't work, dirty carpets, mould in the bathrooms and beds that sag. In short, the guestrooms seemed tired.
