Bad experience in terms of cleanliness and service

The location is convenient, and the room was spacious and quiet. However, this is the end of the upside. The hotel is located on a roach infested street, with minimal street lighting. The duvet was also dirty, with stains (like blood) peeling off. We tried to contact housekeeping for a replacement, but we were told that there is no housekeeping at night for this. This is quite digusting and an unacceptable response from a hotel.

We didn’t get to the hotel until 2:00am and whoever was at the desk was so helpful. There isn’t an elevator so they helped us with bags while we carried our sleeping kids. The hotel was quiet and beautiful- the breakfast delicious- service was beyond- would absolutely recommend for nice retreat!

We had to check 3 rooms to finally find one with working hot water. My car was messed with at night setting off alarm. Thieves sneaking in gated door or internal problem. Mold in the vent of A/C. Bedsheet had permanent red stain on it. TV with 2 remote controls was too difficult to figure out, so didn’t use it. 3$ per coffee capsule charge is unusual.
