Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms don't have air conditioning
The hotel does not provide air-conditioning units in all rooms, which can make your stay uncomfortable during a heatwave or in the warmer part of the year. When booking, make sure to specify that you require a room with AC.
negative:
Accommodations are of inconsistent quality
While some guests have reported of clean, comfortable, spacious rooms, others have complained of cramped space, broken plumbing and appliances, and dirty conditions. In addition, the hotel Wi-Fi is not accessible from all rooms; you may need to go to the lobby to use it.
negative:
Not all rooms are kept spotless
Though the hotel claims to provide consistent, high-quality cleaning and maintenance service, some guests have reported that their assigned rooms were in an extremely poor condition. It might be a good idea to have a solid backup plan in place if you intend to stay here!
