For a budget hotel, this place was great. The hallways look a little tired, but I didn't care about that as my room was clean and comfortable. The room was fitted out as I expected for a budget hotel. Small, compact, and with the basic needs you need. Aircon, TV both worked (No remote for the TV, I'm ok with that). Bed was clean and comfortable. I would definitely return.
