The room was spotless clean and the staff were courteous. Daily housekeeping was done. The room offered two king beds, a desk, a bathroom with a shower. Amenities included a safe (we were not given and did not ask for the code though), a mini fridge, an iron, and a blow dryer. I would have liked it better if there was a small microwave oven to heat up water for tea or restaurant leftover food.
