9/10 Wonderful! (47 reviews)
"The weather was very hot and my room on the 3rd floor was boiling. I know AC is not popular, but under such conditions a fan in the room would have made a world of difference. The restaurant food, while limited in choices, was excellent. The staff were pleasant and helpful."
