It is obvious that this hotel used to be nicer but for the price, it did not deliver. Mostly the issues concerned the a
Pros:

Location. Quiet. The elevator worked well. Staff were generally pleasant.

Cons:

I woke up one night with water all over the bathroom floor. The room above me had some problem and water went through the ceiling and dripped through the light fixtures. I was leaving the next day so I suggested they wait to repair. I had noticed ceiling water stains a couple days before, so it had happened prior.

On daily housekeeping, my coffee maker was not cleaned, spent grounds were left in the filter and the pot was not rinsed. New coffee was not provided and I ran out on day one never receiving any more. Sugar was not replaced either. No cream substitute was provided at all.

Bottled water that was provided daily in my room did not taste right. I asked the front desk why it tasted like coconut water (slightly sweet/salty) and if they themselves bottled it. They confirmed using a on-site filtration process. I had diarrhea for five of the six days I was there. It COULD have been something else but I did not like the obvious taste in their provided water. On my entire trip of one month, I drank bottled water elsewhere and did not get stomach upset. I had to go out and buy bottled water when I had already drunk 4-5 bottles of the hotel's "water".

Breakfast was minimal, not enough variety. Cereal was available but I had to ask for milk, or yogurt. Milk always came at room temperature, not cold.

Absolutely not a 5* hotel, it is rather a 2*
Pros:

Lcation and the staffs

Cons:

It was like a 2* hotel. Its categorisation of 5* is a scam. It looks so poor and sad like in horror movies. It is all old and dated. The room has no fridge, no bathing coats, no slippers, no liquid soap, toilet stucks, and so on.. The carpet was dirty. There was some strange plastic thing in our safe, beeping like a bomb…it was really awkward. The hotel is almost empty with only few guests and only few staff members who are very kind and giving their best to provide something out of nothing. The breakfast is so poor too, one kind of cheese and ham, they call it selection. Bread was also poor and attacked by some insects. If you want bacon our anything with your eggs you need to pay extra 9USD. There is no pool while gym and sauna are ridiculously poor.
