There was a large cockroach in the shower We came back to our room in the afternoon after being out in the morning and our room wasn’t made and we called the front desk and they mentioned that rooms are only made upon request but didn’t inform of this information when we were checking in and we we asked if we can request it to be cleaned and new towels stocked they said it was too late in the day (it was 3:15 at the time) because the cleaners leave by 4 PM. The windows were covered in dust. There were tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel for 2 people.

Neglected, very basic, will not stay in this hotel again. The windows were echoing rain noise in the room terribly. The loud noise of a faucet coming from another room during midnight was very annoying. The shower floor didn’t seem clean at all. There was no closet just a bar with hanger. Air conditioning unit box was broken, surprisingly it was very quiet and working well. The went plastic panel in the room was not fitted well, and you could see the stuff behind it. The plugs were worn out, bed was comfortable. Bathroom had a small window for ventilation to outside, and you have to open and close it, no fan in the bathroom.
