Very unsatissfied
Pros:

The location was good

Cons:

I paid for a deluxe room upon reaching there a staff comes says the guest that was on that room did not move out, like why didn’t they tell me before i arrived. Also the room that i stayed had a huge smell of dust like it was so uncomfortable
They said breakfast would be ready by 0600hrs but i reached there at 0615hrs and it wasn’t ready i had to wait for 40min.
