Do not stay here, walked in and walked out again. Fan sounded like a cement mixer, stains on the carpet and coffee table that looked like it come from the tip.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!!!!! The bed is the size of the entire room. The carpet was stained and sticky. The aircon stank like it was full of mould. They turned off the hot water around 7am on a Monday. And they charge as much as a real hotel. Disgusting, overpriced and uncaring staff.

The carpets desperately need a shampoo. A few more drinking glasses would be useful. The microwave seems like a hazard with lots of exposed rust inside and there are no small sharp knives, just 3 really large serrated knives. Just could be better equipped.
