Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Renovated modern room with lots of lightings in the room. Bathroom is functional but very small, no space to turnaround. AC strong and looks to be newly installed. The downside is that there is no duvet cover/blanket, only an extremely thin bed sheet. There was an old blood stain on the mattress that was clearly visible due to the thin bedsheet - that was a complete put off.
