2/10 Poor

It’s not worth the money. It says it has a shower and a private bathroom but there’s no hot water to have a proper shower. And there was no toilet paper. When I asked for toilet paper they said the delivery will come later and he cannot do anything about it when he could just go buy some and provide for his customers. I called for the hot water too and he said he’ll send someone to fix it. No one did. The bed wasn’t thoroughly cleaned. Dusty and with hair on it. Not worth it. Find something better.

Terrible building and room. I saw a cockroach walking at the side wall when I opened the door. Understand the price is cheap but it is definitely unacceptable to saw the cockroach!!

2/10 Poor

Worst stay I've ever had
This place is awful. Don't believe those photos: they must have been taken a decade ago, as was the last time anyone cleaned the place. 1) mold the size (and shape) of mushrooms in the bathroom, along with other types of mold as well 2) the mattress was slanted from wear - roll over at your own risk 3) there were loose springs in the mattress that made getting comfortable a difficult task 4) the sink is clogged and a busted pipe causes it to leak directly onto the floor 5) the cable box works but the TV doesn't, probably because the wires on the back are buried in a layer of dust 5mm deep 6) the wallpaper is falling/has fallen off the wall 7) the fans on the ceiling in the bedroom and the bathroom are too molded up to function properly 8) the toilet has a giant hole on top But hey, at least the sheets were cleaned and the floor was swept. Those are the only positives I can think of.

A nightmare
The worst ever! What a rip off.. I could have stayed at better place for the same price.. The room we were assigned to looks perfectly nothing like in the published photos.. Dirty is the only word to sum up my experience staying there.. Room looks like a store room, water heater is like a 100 years old, rusty at the base, walls plastered with what looks like cardboard. Not to mention the toilet.. I do have photos of how the room looks like to back my allegations.

Cheap accommodations. You get what you pay.
Mold in bathroom. Lots of it. You are told to please your trash and dirty towels outside your door at the end of the day, so that staff may empty your trash bin and replace your dirty towels with clean ones. However, this wasn't done until around 4pm the next day usually, which meant you didn't have a towel or trash to place your toilet paper from using bathroom. The room had a gaping hole where electrical wires were. Hotel had lots of empty beer bottles at entrance. But when you pay $20 something odd dollars a night and just need somewhere to place your head at night, it works. Good locks on the door and fairly safe and quiet.

During my 5 days stay I never saw anyone working the reception area. Also, the was full of dust on the floor near the walls. But the most off putting was the noise inside the ceiling at 4 in the morning. Rats? Maybe.
