While the room was comfortable, there was an issue with the body wash not being replenished. I had to call a couple of times before someone came to address it, which was a bit frustrating. On top of that, we experienced an A/C issue during our stay. Fortunately, it was resolved, but it did add some stress to my holiday.

The service was generally friendly, but it had its moments. I appreciated the effort of the housekeeping staff, but waiting for essentials like body wash was less than ideal.
