4.00/5 Pleasant Stay

Written by None on 01-may-2017. Customer stayed on 30-apr-2017

What could be improved is that the current room toilet power plug is close to the geyser so one suggestion would be to have a plastic case to cover it so that water wouldn't splash onto it, it's a hazard, but other than that the room is nice & the stay is pleasant.
