What the community said
A bungalow room near the construction zone had serious issues: sewage smell, dampness, a broken shower, and no hot water. After requesting a change at the front desk at 3 PM, a move to the 7th floor of the main building with a sea view was arranged. Note: service quality varies by shift — one team is helpful, the other less so.
