The only issue we had is that the AC in our room was not fresh enough so the room was not making it hard to sleep at night. Have stay in this hotel several times and never had this issue.

It's my second time staying at this hotel. I love all the staff, very friendly, just a suggestion.... I had to stay in the second module and you have to walk in front of the first module to check out, I think it would be more convenient to do it in the same module because there is the possibility.
