Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was OK. No towels were provided. The amenities were not well kept or maintained. The cleanliness was average to poor. The staff were trying to be helpful but were poorly organised. Definitely not a place I would be recommending or staying at again.

Close to a bus stop which is nice, the staff members are around the building and not really present at the reception or a fixed place where you could find them. You can ring a bell at the front desk though. The kitchen and our room had everything one needs. Wasn't very clean but not very dirty either.

Check in can be slow process. Building is much older than it looks, very tired. It is a full on backpackers hostel, messy dorm rooms, filthy carpeting, I booked a single room, don't ask for much, clean bed, hot shower, some quiet sleep. My bed was broken (leg missing), no hot water at all too have a shower, the power in each room cuts off after an hour of use, didn't come back on four 4 hrs, but the worst is the absolute noise two nights in a row from gamers using giant tv and yelling until 2 am. The next night worse, the whole complex including main staff partying, loud music, yelling until 4am+ right next to my room with receptionist encouraging them. I packed up my car and left at 4am, even though I paid for another 24hrs, and slept in my car. For those who need accommodation for hospital visits, don't do it. I will never return.
