This is a basic property that provides a bed for the night. The property needs maintenance. While my room had been cleaned, the door had years of grime and the bathroom gaps around the tub enclosure and mold.

1. Check-in time is unreasonable, 4:00 PM is absurd 2. Clearly not the place for you if you like to have a great sleep, there are no blackout curtains. 3. I asked for cutlery to eat food and they asked me to get it from some nearby restaurant 4. No air conditioner at the place, it was heating during my visit
