Liked: Cleanliness
It was so hot. The second I entered the property I started sweating. I had to buy a fan for just one night. Any time I was not directly in front of that fan, I was sweating. Otherwise the stay was fine.

There was no air conditioning in the room. Toilets are really tiny and not very clean. Mattress feels like plastic and the bed is very squeaky!
