Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location. Beddings changed daily upon request. Cleaning staff are polite and courteous.
Negative: I was sure I didn't receive the same room that I booked. As there were no sight of the large white building obstruction from my original room selection. I brought this up with Staff, but they requested I pay for another room and upgrade. I tried to argue my case, but they brought a manager or superior who requested I pay for another room. So I remained in the current room.
