Acceptable Stay with Disappointments

good locationsmall bathroomterrible water pressure
The location was good, close to what i needed.
The bathroom was quite small, and the water pressure in the shower was terrible. My partner and I had real problems with the passcodes. They just didn't work at first. there was a power cut one night, which wasn't ideal.

Good location close to the port

The location proved convenient, being close to both the port and various shops. Communication regarding check-in was straightforward, and the check-in process was very easy. The room looked clean, and I noted the linen and towels seemed freshly laundered. The staff demonstrated friendliness and were quite helpful when needed..
The shower exhibited issues with the water flow. I observed leaks originating from the pipes rather than the shower head.
