The only best thing of this hotel is location. The hotel is too old, no maintenance and doesn’t look clean at all. The staff is not experienced with credit card payment, therefore had to pay cash for deposit when checked in. When checked out time, the hotel counter had not enough cash to refund the cash deposit therefore had to deduct the room charges from the cash deposit.
