Decent Stay with Minor Issues

spacious roomgood air conditioningfriendly bartenderunreliable wifioutdated roombroken sofa
I found the room to be spacious, great! Air conditioning worked very well. The bartenders were nice. Sumaila was excellent and every drink he made tasted perfect.
Wi-Fi did not work in our room. It only worked in the reception area. The receptionist said they would send someone to investigate, though no one came. I found the room dirty and very outdated. The sofa bed was broken and there were dirty tiles, gross to see.
