Arun

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room had a very strong stench, so much so we couldn’t sleep through the night. The comforter was torn with red and black stains. The shower in the bathroom has a curtain on three sides and after shower the whole bathroom is soaking wet. The toilet seat was broken. We had reservation for 2 days, but after the first night’s experience, bolted out as fast as we could to another hotel. One of the worst hotels that I have ever stayed in.
