Honest Review

I opted for this place again because it was a cheaper option, but my experience this time was not very comfortable. Some of the issues I faced included water spilling outside the bathroom door, non-AC rooms that felt quite humid, and a bit of noise at night—which can be bothersome if you’re sensitive while sleeping. The public bathrooms also have motion-sensor lights, so you end up waving or moving constantly to keep them on. This was my second stay here; my first was about three years ago, when everything felt newer and more hygienic. Unfortunately, things seem to have declined since then, and for me, it’s not worth it anymore.
