2/10 Poor

Very run down No staff at hotel or on duty
Cassandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No Remote control

The bed just soo comfort, firm and soft. However, AC is not working, no TV remote cannot control channel or even volume.
Karbela Fathul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I walked in to see bugs crawling around on the floor. The couch was the most disgusting thing I have seen in all my time of travelling with work. The whole facility is so run down and dirty. I walked out after 5 minutes of being in the room and found another place to stay. Do yourself a favour and give this terrible place a miss.
Glenn, 1-night trip
