Cons:

The room was very old and poorly maintained. The air-conditioner filter was dirty and hidden, and I was even expected to clean it myself. The cabinet was broken, and the bed was dirty, which caused me to have an allergic reaction while sleeping. There were also cockroaches in the room. Outside, there were people smoking, which made the environment even more uncomfortable. Although the price is cheap, I would not recommend staying here if you are looking for a comfortable and clean place.

Terrible.
Pros:

It was cheap and walkable to USM.

Cons:

1. The aircon in my room barely worked.
2. There was only 1 socket in my room, and it was for the fan. Since it was hot and the aircon didn't work, I couldn't charge my phone. No other socket in the house worked.
3. The cleanliness in the room was alright, but the kitchen area was dirty. I didn't feel comfortable using the amenities or even drinking from the water filter. There wasn't a lot of people staying when I was there, and the amount of potentially expired food in the fridge is concerning.
4. I would advise fellow girlies to avoid this stay especially if travelling alone. I know it was stated upfront that its an express check in, but the place gives really creepy vibes and I did not spot a single security camera. I kept thinking how easy it would be for something bad to happen and the owner would not even be aware until too late.
5. You are told to clean after yourself. I know that is basic etiquette, I wonder if that was all the cleaning that gets done here. With the dirty kitchen and bedsheets being not quite fresh to the touch, I don't think there are staff cleaners that come in regularly.

TLDR; this is an airbnb, not a hotel. If you just want to a stay closer to USM, USM Designer Dwell is better.
