Not what was expected
Not the best experience. We booked the private room with a king bed for one night and the place was not very clean - dust everywhere, random roaches, and a musty smell. The toilet seat also did not stay up so you have to hang on to it just to use it. The shower head was also not working so water only came from the bottom of the basin. Also, despite what the booking says, there was no breakfast included. The staff was also nowhere to be found most of the time. Overall just not my cup of tea or what I had expected.

Not so comfortable
This place doesn't accept credit cards - yet, credit card information was collected from me during reservation process. No mention of cash only policy in the ad. There is no breakfast as mentioned in the ad either. Very loud - loud music, loud traffic, you can hear everything around you.
