Really don't know to begin. Because once I step into the hotel lobby already feel uncomfortable at all. Counter also no people over there. Hotel lobby feel very hot. Maybe aircon broke down or what. But counter staff very fast appear and serve me. This one I feel OK. Room condition actually so so. But the bed sheet I feel not so clean at all. Because I see few short hair over the bed sheet even the pillow and the dressing table also got many ants. Overall I just feel this hotel not so clean at all. I choose to stay here because few years ago I got stay here and feel very great. Now totally unbelievable changing.

The room for the first night is totally different from what I saw in the picture … the bedsheet is so dirty and the toilet is smelly. The bed is beside the door of toilet. I can't sleep at all due to the unpleasant smell. Luckily they change the room for me on second day … Please provide the real photo of the room that the customers are going to book. Be real and sincere please.
