Not the cleanest place I stayed in, hair in the bed, stain on the pillow case and spots on the walls and dresser. Air conditioning barely working. Overall pretty cheap place to stay overnight and closed to a small busy area.

Bit disappointed by the size of the room - there was barely enough room to put my suitcase anywhere. Also struggled to get any internet access at times (not wifi, just normal phone access) - it's like the hotel, or at least my room, was in a dead zone. But I did appreciate the staff helping me out with some Panadol when I was dealing with food poisoning.

It was okay. Air con was somewhat problematic as it was only in the living room and had difficulty permeating the bedroom. Any conveniences in the area require a drive or an Uber. My review is probably jaded by the roach that jumped on my arm while I was drinking coffee in the morning.
