The room seriously lacked in cleanliness. Surfaces covered in prints and the dust on celing, vent and wardrobe was HORRIBLE. Good location. Day staff more hospitable than night staff. Expect to be charged FOR EVERYTHING!

Hyang

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staffs were kind and told me they will provide the upgraded room, but the room was very tiny and smelled bad in the toilet. The desk area was not cleaned properly, I cleaned it with my wipes. The amenities they provide are not worthy. The heater was so loud and was not affective, so I did not use it. I'm so glad I did not stay any longer than a night. The window blockout curtains had much gap in between, did not block much.
