Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Dirty and poorly maintained.
The door on my room couldn't close so I had to wedge a door against it, the bath room was smelly.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was in the heart of the City. Nice place with good view. But Dirty cleaners were not doing a good job in terms of cleaning. Staffs need to learn about customer service. They need to be friendly and kind. No hot water in the hotel even if I called and asked if they had hot water. Door nob and sink into the toilet was full of dust. Toilet were not cleaned properly.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024
