Negative Reviews
negative:
Bathroom is flooded after every shower!
The insufficient drain hole inside the bathrooms was the reason why it got flooded every time. Guests were exasperated because of this inconvenience. Furthermore, shower did not have enclosure which made this issue worse. There was only a glass partition with no door to separate the shower area and toilet.
negative:
Rooms are small and old-fashioned
According to guests, rooms here are small so there is no room for luggage. Moreover, rooms are dated that it need an upgrade. Everything seemed worn out and you can see it in the furniture and the whole look of the establishment.
negative:
Unstable Wi-Fi inside the rooms
Wi-Fi was slow and not working inside the rooms which gave headache to previous guests. Thus, the management suggested to either access the Internet in the lobby where it was fast or just use the computer in the lobby provided for the guests.
