Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The receptionist was not polite, she took my money for the city tax and charge me per day per stay and I booked for two nights so I paid her upon checked in. After check-in about 1 hour later I did not like the hotel so I want to check out then I ask for my city tax to be refunded for the second cost as I will not stay for tomorrow. She did not want to give back to me the money. And I get two bottles of water per day for my room and I already paid for my two nights stay and they told no not refundable so I said fine. Then I ask to give me my two bottles of water in advance for my second-night stay water. She refused to give me water which I already paid for it. This hotel is horrible and the bed is dirty and some hair around the pillow and room is dusty, and some part is falling apart in the room and curtain is not working properly.

Clean and comfortable spot for the night.
Room and bed is Clean. Sells beer at reception at decent price. Common area upstairs has power plugs so you could work. Bathroom heaters could use some maintenance. Underbed storage is a nice idea.

Terrible wifi and uncleanliness
Absolutely terrible. Terrible wifi between 0.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps constantly disconnecting. Also, Bed bugs were found in my bed the first night I got there. They moved me to a different room after I told the staff and they washed my clothes. The bathroom on the third floor has very bad shower pressure and the shower handle is broken. The water heater was also not working.
