My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, with jacuzzis both inside and outside on the balcony, were unique but came with some design quirks like the exposed shower. However, this setup might be more suitable for couples than friends. The late availability of rooms and missing items were initial hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, but the loud music from the bar and unwelcome visitors like cockroaches were a turn-off.
