However, there are recurring concerns about maintenance and cleanliness. The pool area, in particular, received multiple complaints about its state, ranging from being dirty to full of garbage. The rooms and bathrooms also have inconsistent reviews; while many found them very clean, others reported issues like musty smells, stained towels and bed sheets and occasional pests like cockroaches. Some reviews mentioned issues with the cleanliness of the lobby and corridors, as well as specific rooms that were not cleaned adequately before guests' arrival.
Despite these mixed reviews, the friendliness and quality of service provided by the staff remain strong points for the hotel. The focus on maintaining hygienic standards in general areas and the commendable effort put into room cleanliness are acknowledged, though some visitors feel there is room for improvement in cleaning procedures and regular maintenance.
Staff

The support staff, including the pool and cleaning services, received positive feedback for their friendly demeanor and responsiveness.
However, there are some contrasting experiences. A few guests pointed out that some of the reception staff could be unwelcoming and lacked warmth. Complaints about specific interactions with certain staff members suggest inconsistencies in the service quality.
