Replace the Carpet, Polish the lift and replace the old mattress in the room and repaint the doors.
Pros:

Great location and great staff, Unfortunately the property are too old and run down. It wasnt maintain properly, simple thing like polishing the lift, cleaning the carpet and the lounge seating is very old. I was attracted with the photos displayed on the website unfortunately it wasnt in reality.
As you walk in there's small bamboo hut on the side walk of the main entrance its old and stink. The reception seating and the carpet are stink " smell really bad" . This hotel should be rating as 2 STAR or below.

Cons:

The smell are really bad as you walk in towards the reception for room check in.
It does't cost much to renovate each room, the location of this hotel are great. As you walk to the lift, it tells everything about cleanliness.

Не соответствует описанию
Pros:

Сотрудники на ресепшне добрые и готовы были помочь по всем вопросам. На первом этаже отеля есть магазин необходимых товаров и ресторан, где можно заказать еду.

Cons:

Вайфай очень слабый, невозможно подключиться в номере, я провела рабочую сессию в лобби, где было очень жарко и неудобно. Постельное белье грязное и плохо пахло, было много волос от предыдущих гостей, полотенца несвежие. Мы приехали ночью, поэтому не хотелось тревожить персонал - мы постелили на кровать свою одежду и укрылись полотенцами. На следующий день мы попросили заменить постельное белье, нам заменили на хотя бы чистое, но серое белье, которое когда-то было белым.
