Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Room had a strong odor of mold, persistent chemical cleaners, and occasional cigarette smoke. Shower water temperature was not controllable: scalding hot one day, and too cold the next, and the shower head only came up to my chest level. Corridor flooring was bare concrete with remnants of tile glue. Other than that, the facilities were okay.

There was a dead cockroach in the closet. Saw few small ones running around the dark area. The bedsheets felt itchy. We requested a clean service and the dead cockroach was still in the closet after we came back to the room.
