There was no pool as advertised.
There was no safe in the room as advertised
I had to pay extra for a room with a window
It wasn’t readily accessible via roadside; it’s a bit off the main road.

Very clean and comfortable property. Friendly staff. The property itself is safe. But it's tucked deep in small alleys.

Le wifi ne fonctionne vraiment pas bien.
Le milieu environnant n’est pas sécuritaire, ni intéressant.
Chambre trop petite.
