Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were yak and dirty, both side of the beds and the cloth hangers in toilet was so crystal clear dirty and no one was cleaning them for ages, the toiles were smelling so bad, the rooms were also smelling so wet and uncomfortable. For some one who has alergy like me is a mistake to leave there.

We enjoy staying here, very affordable. However, having to now pay for parking is a bad decision (reverse this decision NOW!), and there were clumps of hair in our bed. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.
