Pros:

I wish i could share pictures from this place. I hsve seen old deployed Army barracks that were more presentable and clean. Mold spot painted to cover up small areas seemingly with a spay paint can, holes in the walls, shower did not work. What a crap hotel. I am not sure who helped give this place a shining star rating but disgusting is the only way to describe it.

Pros:

Excellent hotel!!! Jin at the front desk was amazing. The room was comfortable, quiet, and super clean. However, no coffee or water in the room. This is fairly standard in all hotels. They used to have coffee, creamer, water bottles, and tooth brushes. So, if you want these things, you have to bring your own or run to the store. I think they are trying to save money, but it seems like a petty thing to cut out of the rooms. Breakfast was really good with many choices.

Pros:

Property is run down. Had to call to have trash removed, then it took 1 and 1/2 hours to show up. Room was never cleaned. Buffet ha limited selection got a better meal at Jollibee; worth the cab ride. Water pressure next to none existent.
