              Not sure if just a co incident or the place is really old and dirty. That’s ants and small flies in my room. When I stepped into the room and saw that’s hair in the drainage system never clean. Existing coffee stain on the floor. Even next day with room service , they never clean the toilet or remove the existing hair. Floor still the same after room service. They will just tidy up the bed and replace new towels. Night time is very noisy. Apparently with the same price , I able to get a better and worthwhile place after my stay here. A good experience for me as a learning session do not make quick decisions while select budget hotel. That’s a better choice. Hope they will improve or at least ensure the place is comfortable and clean .
