mixed experience with small room and cleanliness issues

unclean bathroomslow wifi

I wasn't completely satisfied with my stay. the room felt not very clean. the bathroom did not smell good. I think the filter on the toilet needed to be changed. i bought a room deodorizer to feel ok using the bathroom. also, there were hairs in the bathroom, sheets, and room that were not mine.

The location was fantastic with a bus stop right outside the hotel. Supermarkets were just a short walk away and the market was easily accessible. I also appreciated the complimentary amenities, including the herbal patches. The staff were helpful and kind .

The hotel did not offer daily housekeeping, i needed to take out my trash. I also had to place used towels outside the room. I found this a bit odd for the price paid.

Wonderful Stay in a Centrally Located Hotel

main streethelpful staffinsufficient lights

The hotel has a main street location , very convenient for shopping and dining. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. They even arranged to transfer our bags to another city , saving us a lot of hassle.

The room had insufficient lights , this made it a bit difficult at times. I also found the room cleaning a bit odd as they left clean towels in a black bag by the door. We had to change them ourselves.

The location was acceptable. It's close to shops and restaurants.

the staff's lack of sincerity was disappointing. i got sick and warned them about the influenza. i wanted the room cleaned, but they didn't communicate their policy about not cleaning rooms of sick guests beforehand. sheets should have been provided without me having to ask again, considering my condition.
