underwhelming experience
condescending staff clogged sink
The hotel was clean. That's about it.
I found the staff to be a bit condescending. One even asked if it was my first time in this area. the in-room dining was pretty bad, especially given the price. also, the toilet sink was constantly clogged.

limited luggage space ineffective air conditioning
The room i stayed in felt somewhat cramped. Space for luggage was Limited. I also encountered a problem with the air conditioning. It was not functioning correctly, resulting in an uncomfortably warm room . Despite reporting it, the issue persisted, and the staff did not offer a satisfactory resolution. The lack of effective air conditioning was a SIGNIFICANT DISCOMFORT.
