What guests report

Bed & mattress
Generally comfortable with good quality linens and pillows; some reports of very soft or old mattresses causing back pain
Bathroom & water
Spacious and surprisingly premium with excellent water pressure and hot water; some units have separated toilet without sink; occasional drainage clogs and mold/odor issues
Wi-Fi
Unreliable in many rooms; weak signal in some locations requiring mobile roaming for work; works better in lobby
Breakfast
Exceptional quality and variety including fresh waffles, made-to-order items, fresh juice stations, diverse hot/cold options; worth the stay; premium toiletries (Rituals brand); occasional inconsistency in quality
AC / heating
Major problem: many units non-functional or turned off by management; rooms reach 26-28°C and impossible to cool; some rooms lack in-room control

Local knowledge

Request a room away from the bar and main road; upper floors (2nd+) report better sleep quality
The free airport shuttle requires 90+ minute wait; cheaper to take Uber (3-7 dollars) which takes 5 minutes
Room cleaning is only on request; ask at reception on arrival if you want daily service
