It is time to invest money in cleaning up this hotel. It could use proper caulking in the bathroom, new paint everywhere, fixing and stabilizing of the toilets, and leveling of floors so when walking on the laminate it does not crack under your feet.

Close to many amenities and far enough from loud cities. Walls are a bit thinner that you can hear the neighbours but property is pretty quiet.

When we asked for extra towels, we were given one small extra towel as there were two in the room already. There was one bath sheet, one smaller towel and two hand towels. The room was clean and check in/check out was fine.

Not a particularly good basic room. No thermostat to control temperature. One input air vent in the ceiling that blew very cold air in long bursts with then no flow for periods between. Room was cold humid as the air coming in was not being properly dried by the aircon system. Room smelt faintly of past cigarette smoking which was enhanced by the humidity level. Would not recommend these basic rooms on the north side. The other larger rooms on the south side are a bit better.

There is no temperature control in the room. The AC was on full time and the room was freezing in July. No place to hang up clothes. Bed was in a small area with no access from either side. Had to craw into and out of bed from the bottom.

The non-smoking room I booked was smelling of unbearable smoke. Reception told me this is due to HVAC. Then he said I can give you another similar room with additional charges. Finally, after some negotiations he gave another room key which had no smell. Thank God!
