Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am very disappointed with my recent stay. I have stayed at this hotel for many years when returning to my hometown, and it used to hold many good memories for me. Sadly, this experience completely changed that. After waiting a long time to check in, I was given what seemed to be the worst room in the hotel. The front desk staff was unkind when I politely asked if they could help me get into the room sooner. The room was in very poor condition. There were mosquitoes and even cockroaches, loud noise from a busy alley, and a window that looked damaged and could not be locked. The bedding looked old and dirty, there was hair on the floor, and the room overall felt neglected and poorly maintained. As a paying guest, I expected basic cleanliness, comfort, and respectful service. It was very disappointing, especially because this hotel once meant a lot to me. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves the way they treat their guests.

The staffs are great people, but the hotel are very outdated and did not look as good as in the picture, also there was no hot water in MY room. Fan only without air conditioner. Makes the room really muggy. If only the quality of the hotel was as good as the staffs. It would be great

Great location, even though is located on a busy street, the rooms were quiet, all the staff is really helpful. That being said, the hotel is not as nice as it appears on pictures, it is quite dated and the rooms smell a little bit of mold, our room window had no view and the shower is designed in a way that the water splashes on to the rest of the bathroom. The free breakfast is you get what you pay for, so don’t expect an all you can eat buffet, it is very simple and not that great quality food. Overall, is a simple place with great location for the price if you’re staying with a couple or friends, wouldn’t recommend families and be aware to request the ground floor beforehand if you have any trouble going up the stairs as there is no elevator.

The property was ok, no more no less. The hotel is a two-story colonial style building without elevator. The lack of an elevator could/should have been added to the property's description, just so potential guests can choose between booking there or moving on to another property. Our booking included two rooms and we were split between first and second floor. We requested a 2-bed option for one of the two rooms. At checking, staff reported to being unaware of our request for two beds and "did us a favor". We were accommodated in a "triple": this meant one full size bed and one single bed. Upon our insistance we were lodged on the same floor but on different ends of the building. We have experienced similar issues when booking with Expedia, that specific requests are not passed on to the hotel company & the hotels are not communicating/responding to specific requests.--- Wi-fi is very poor, either at the lobby or on the 2nd floor. The hotel is a bit noisy: bedroom doors are hollow and noise from early risers and late comers make it challenging to enjoy a good sleep. The cleaning staff starts very early and the sounds of buckets, keys, and related sounds are the equivalent to a wake up alarm sound. --- The bedroom, aside from a large hole on the closet door & a discarded mattress outside our bedroom window, had adequate space, comfortable beds, a quiet and cooling air conditioner, and good water pressure. The hotel has lots of opportunities to improve its condition.
