Not good

Room smelled with funky smell, saw a dead spider near sink, seems like it was killed but the area was not cleaned, bed mattress was not comfortable, pillows were ok. My major concern is the cooler/heater in the room because the vent was dusty and when fan blew air you can imagine what I was breathing. I was so dead tired that I didn't bother to ask for a different room at 10:00 pm at night. Will not be staying here again.

My stay

The place itself is conveniently located with amenities near by. Please note the AC is very loud and keeps you awake. Towels are old, Toilet was unable to flush, they offered to move me as the plumbers was unavailable for sometime. The chair in the room looked dirty, I did not sit on it. The microwave was smelly as it looks like the last guest warmed or cooked had curry or something like that in it, and it was not clean.
