Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Noisy. No parking. No elevator. Staff was not very helpful and did not give friendly vibes. QR codes for tipping everywhere. Room was not great; Small TV. Bathroom is terrible. Check-in at 4:00, and nothing earlier. Don’t buy their “chocolates” it’s expired.
