The staff were very, rude! One of them even requested that i should go ask the person that booked the room, insinuating that i couldn't have booked the room by myself. They told me that rooms can only be cleaned after 3 days. This is the worst i have ever seen any hotel all my life. I wouldn't advice any right thinking person to stay there.
