Overall the hotel was very nice looking; bed was comfy and room was spacious. Kitchen was great to have! What causes the 3/5 stars is that each time we entered our room it smelled like toilet water. Not sure why but it was unpleasant. The shower is also very small. If you have muscular or broad back expect to stand sideways when showering, as it’s a very narrow shower/tub.
