Green World Triplebeds Hotel
Very clean and spacious room. 2 Queen beds was like 2 King beds which was an amazing addition. Bed was a bit hard for me but the rest of my crew liked them. Loved the warm toilet seat. Staff was very friendly and was able to check in early for a small fee…well worth it after a long flight. Great ...
