Dirty and poorly maintained.
The door on my room couldn't close so I had to wedge a door against it, the bath room was smelly.

6/10 Good
Aug 1, 2024
Hotel was in the heart of the City. Nice place with good view. But Dirty cleaners were not doing a good job in terms of cleaning. Staffs need to learn about customer service.
They need to be friendly and kind. No hot water in the hotel
even if I called and asked if they had hot water. Door nob and sink into the toilet was full of dust. Toilet were not cleaned properly.
