The stay was terrible. The room and beds were so dirty. There were cockroaches everywhere. The room had really bad smell. The bathroom lock was not working. Power sockets were not working. The frontdesk staff told that the manager will contact me, but nobody responded back. Overall I recommend not to stay at this place.
