This is really more a 2-3 stars property. In general the property is run down and looked tired and worn out. It was previously an apartment block that was bought and converted into a ‘hotel’. There’s wall patches that wasn’t properly done and paint coming off the joinery. We noticed a spider in the toilet and the vents sound like a machine. The rooms are not air-conditioned which isn’t up to par given the price and 4 star rating on Google. I think it here needs to be a lot of adjustments (lower) to reflect the true quality/value/type of the accommodation.

We wwre put into the wheelchair accessibility room, which meant oue shower had a shower curtain which are extremely unsanitary. They stick to yori body when showering and I absolutely guarantee they arw NOT washed between guests. The shower setup means water goes absolutely EVERYWHERE throughout the bathroom so I had to ask for a LOT more towels to contain thwn water. It would bw good for staff to check if this setup suits a customer prior to them staying. The ret was otherwise good.
