  Did not like my stay

  Liked: Cool design

  Disliked: Service is so-so. No water in the rooms, only in bar at additional price, no vanity kits, shower caps, or any essentials in bathroom. Very narrow entrance, not good for cars. Located right above most noisy restaurant with live very loud music until 1-2 AM, no way to sleep. Smell of cigarettes in all building

  Sleepless in Tarminia

  Liked: Short walk to shopping and food. Location excellent.

  Disliked: Air conditioning didn't work for the entire stay. Did'nt sleep much. Could not show standing up because water would floor entire floor. I complained to the guy at front desk (guy with beard) and said the AC was water ang that was all it could do. Paid premium price for sleepless nights. Will never book this place again.
