The room was simple. We paid 74dlls which not complaining, but the hotel has potential. Needs maintenance work in the rooms, paint job. The cleanliness was good. Beds are very hard. Overall it has potential but they need to work on the rooms and outside the property.

We stayed in Room 201 found out the toilet flush didn't work at all, so they changed us to Room 206, which is much better. Unfortunately hotel staff knocked our door at in the midnight and opened the room! we were so freak out. Hotel need do a better internal communication and avoid that happening again. no compensation on these issues. The location is convenient, parking is ok.

AC was very weak, we had to turn it really low to get cold air. The remote to the tv did not work. The towels were dirty, the top comforter appeared to have been burned because a big chunk was missing. Also, someone was playingusiccall night and no one did anything about it. I will NOT be returning.
