"The room was clean, the bed was good, the AC was good, the shower was good, the staff was very friendly and the location is fantastic. Yes, it's all concrete floors but I didn't find it too inconvenient. Also, as others have mentioned, the blinds don't cover the windows completely, so be cautious of that. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again!"
