I wish they can improve the facilities.
Pros:

The personnel were kind and friendly

Cons:

The room was too small for a family room. We didn’t expect this. The windows can’t be open, the door was very weak so someone can easily break in.

Short, anything but sweet
Cons:

The room was absolutely filthy and the lock didnt even work. Felt extremely unsafe and surrounded by creepy men - it isnt even a hotel, it's a room in a block of flats. I cried and ran out. Absolutely abhorrent.
