Super clean rooms are really impressive, as are the comfortable beds. Rooms are also surprisingly spacious ... no 'cupboard living' here! If they were ever here, all cockroaches and bugs are long gone; can't tolerate the high levels of hygiene!
It doesn't matter that the hotel doesn't have a restaurant; there are so many appealing options nearby. Chopstix, Subway and Church's Chicken are all in the immediate vicinity.
The staff are polite and friendly and the hotel is pet friendly. Given that rooms have undergone a revamp and everything is clean with lots of facilities and freebies, why stay anywhere else?! Another real 'plus' is that the place is generally quiet.
As items are taken bhy guests, they aren't replaced. This results in a limited choice for later diners and next to nothing available if you arrive at the last minute.
There are too few towels, toilet rolls, cups etc; supplied for the number of people in the room. Bed linen appears not to have been changed since the previous guest's departure! Outside upkeep is no better with rubbish and cans littering the pool area.
Air con is either hot or cold, with nothing in between. Showers don't like dispensing hot water. Cistern problems with the toilet result in the constant sound of running water. TVs need re-tuning to access more English speaking channels. Some appliances haven't been repaired after breakage by previous guests and there is no evidence, in the rooms, of a smoke alarm.
