Pros:

I like that it was close to ushaka marine world because that's where we were planning on going, fair price for 2 nights

Cons:

Sheets and pillows were not clean, basin walls were not clean we had to wipe the walls because it was not easy brushing your teeth facing that dirt, TV was useless even when you connect it to your router

My stay was great, it served the purpose of the booking. Just the small things that needs fixing.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable enough, staff was friendly, good location, walkable streets, close to where I work.

Cons:

Water went off while I was bathing, no water in the shower, sink and toilet the whole night. No shower gel, soap or shampoo like said on the website, only a half used lotion was available. The bed sheets and standard pillows were clean and fresh but the green cushions were filthy with a bit of odor. I could hear the tv playing in the living room from my bedroom, the lighting was sooo good that even with lights out there was still light coming from other rooms or passages or wherever idk.

Not so bad bad but it wasn't fun either
Pros:

Aircons in the rooms, the bed is a little comfy

Cons:

I arrived around 4am and my check-in started at 2pm the day before my arrival. I found a male receptionist. They guy rude and lacked information. What a disaster
