7.2/10

The unit offered a lovely pool and a comfortable mattress, which I really appreciated. However, the overall experience was quite disappointing due to the lack of basic amenities and outdated features. The chaotic check-in process made it a bit frustrating, and I felt the unit was overpriced considering the condition it was in. It’s a shame, as it could be so much better with a few updates.
