"The reasons were simple but well maintained and very clean. Need to call the front desk to turn on the air conditioner if it’s off. Very pleasant stay and price was very good. The only problem was that there was construction on the road, therefore being very difficult to order an Uber to get there as they cannot access the property properly, but would still recommend the hotel, because construction will not last forever."
