This is by far the worst hotel I have stayed in on my travels.

Liked:I saw one person behind the check in counter, who was working the Tuesday afternoon. He was very straight, professional, and helpful. He was the only one. Others didn't seem to care much.
Disliked:The bed was too close to the floor, hard to get in and out being disabled. The room was dusty. The cafe and restaurant were advertised as separate, but they're not. The cosmopolitan look does not work. There were not any tables or anything to call it a restaurant.

Liked:Very well located, easy to book and cheap compared to other stays in the same area. Mattress, sheets, covers and pillows are clean and comfortable.
Disliked:The room is overall dirty. I’ve been there many years ago and it was a delightful stay, the place was new and clean. However, it feels like no maintenance or deep cleaning have been performed lately, as there is visible dirty almost everywhere in the room - including the air conditioning system and moldy shower curtains.
