5/5 Excellent

"local is wonderful, this is my 7th time picking here. but this time there were some surprises during this stay. The bathroom was very smelly. It was just too late when I checked in, so I didn't ask for a room change or extra cleaning. I just wasted a lot of perfume to improve it.Please pay attention. Also I remembered when I made the resv. there should be breakfast buffet included, but anyhow, I did not have. "
