Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
No a/c, no fan, no ventilation, although website misleadingly says there's air conditioning in the room. Windows don't have any net screens, so cannot be left open. So no air circulation in the room. No soap provided in the bathroom. No drinking water provided. Kitchenette mentioned in the website is not a kitchenette. There's just a fridge and a microwave. No counter, no cups, bowls, dishes, no utensils and no stove or cooking vessels. The TV had no signal, so did not work.

Gave us grief about our age, refused to look at the reservation until we were interrogated, had to beg the front desk man to let us have the room we booked. Ended up staying somewhere else. Don’t waste your time.

I appreciate that they informed me about that the rooms doesn’t have A/C. The bed had wells and doesn’t stay firm in one place. Bathroom window had the windows bars broken (looks like someone tried to get in in the pass)

The room was filthy, smelled of ammonia, and had windows that would not close. When we asked for the TV remote, we were handed a remote that seemed covered in something sticky. The room on Expedia was listed as having AC, but none of their rooms have AC. When we asked for a discount, we were told there are no discounts. The front desk clerk was unable to communicate with us due to his limited English, and he was inside a barrier, like you would find at a very sketchy motel. Do NOT book at this place!

All of the rooms are smoking rooms (including the ones the hotel manager claimed is nonsmoking). There were spider webs all over room, no cups for toothbrush, and the floor was dirty. I was not impressed!
