Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Clean, good location, steady flow of warm water in the shower, good air conditioner although the low fan setting could have had a lower flow to make it quieter.
Negative: Toothbrushes on request, single face towel for 2 guests, towel was thin and had seen better days. Given a room with no view - contrary to booking - but decided not to shift after the first night. Stayed here about 2 years ago ( under PHC ) and the hotel has gone downhill since my initial stay. Unlikely to return in future.
Summary: Hotel much better managed in the past under PHC
