Negative Reviews
negative:
Bathrooms seem cramped
The bathrooms are not that big so some guests find it hard to move. In addition, guests have to put their towels and clothes outside when they bathe to prevent them from getting wet. However, the bathrooms' hot water supply is reliable so they are still able to have a refreshing bath.
negative:
Rooms and carpets need to be updated
According to guests, the rooms are a bit run down because the carpets look worn out, the windows look like they are about to break, and the paint is tearing off the walls. However, these are just small issues and won't completely spoil your stay.
negative:
Hallways are a bit gloomy and smelly
Guests are a bit disturbed because the hallways lack character and smell like sewage at times. When you contact the staff though, they will spray air fresheners immediately to get rid of the nasty smell.
