decent

My room was very clean as well as the lobby and rest of the building and in ok condition besides the windows broken handle making it hard to open and close, staff is friendly and uniformed in neat red shirts so you know who can assist you. They have cameras on the hallways and entrances to feel secure.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Bad costumer service/front desk. I told her that the room she assigned for us is not ready, seems not cleaned. Pillows dont have cases and looks really filty and stained and were just sitting on top of the beds not fixed. She just said, i dont know about that coz i never go to rooms. I was upset with her response. So, it was my problem then to find solution to the problem? So i asked her who could help us if she cant. So she called a guy to assist us. And even upon arriving, she's not good at all. And also, people from room above us cant stop running. Being respectful should be strongly implemented all the time. We never had a good sleep during our stay. I cant recommend this to others.
