The middle aged lady at the front desk was very rude and told me to leave the hotel when I asked her about fixing the broken fridge. Half of the amenities are broken and my food soiled thanks to the lukewarm mini fridge.

The room was very tiny and crowded not like the photos shown. The temperature of the AC can’t be adjusted so the room was hot and humid. The facilities in the bathroom didn’t work very well.

Large bath towel is the only positive thing I could find about the place. Pay a little more and book a nicer hotel. The room smelled, there was a tiny window and we couldn't air out room. No lighting at the door and it was pitch black. It felt like more like a dungeon than a hotel room. The room did not look anything like the ones pictured on Expedia

I only stay here because it’s cheap and I need something for the night before my next air bnb accommodation. My most recent trip here was unpleasant. The lady who checked me in was rude and barely spoke English. When she have my bag back to me after I stored it before checking in she have it back to me while holding it with tissues like I was dirty and instead of handing it to me she set it in the floor. Are you serious? Then while I was checking in I set my bag on the counter for a moment to get something out and then she made a fuss about that multiple times. Now to my room. The room was ok minus the fact that there was a soda bottle collecting toilet water that was dripping from the back of the toilet. This made noise all day and night and made the room smell like sewage. The smell was so bad that even after closing the door the smell still seeped through. Why would you you let a guest stay in a room that needs repairs?
