    Highly recommended if can tolerate potential shower smell and shower temperature issues. Beds are exquisite. Lovely and

    Air conditioning unit is effective in cooling the room. Spacious room for 3 people. The Hotel offered to store our luggage after check out which was nice. The key to the rooms feels so secure. I wasn't able to avail the breakfast but there was a balcony with tables in another floor we were led to that seems like the place for it, and it looked nice. I was able to sleep very peacefully and comfortably for the 4 nights. Hairdryer was a huge plus for me who needs one. Electric kettle was also a huge help. The washroom was narrow but efficient. I do not really need the legroom for toilet seat activities. The guard also is very nice, probably made our stay 5x better. He was so friendly. We salute each other whenever we meet. He helped us find where the nearest ATM is at night. He has all our respect.

    Our shower area has a smell like nearby sewer which the exhaust could not remove, but we were able to tolerate this. The smell does not reach the toilet area and the bedroom. The hottest the shower could get was still cold. We encountered 2-3 mosquitoes throughout our 4 nights, but I don't know where they came from. Two bottles of water are given per day during house cleaning. I misunderstood the staff we met on the first day who told us that water is free.
