I'm dedicating my valuable time to share this review about the hotel because my experience left much to be desired. My initial motivation for choosing this establishment was the promise of an immersive local living experience. Indeed, it did deliver on this front, but to an extent that made me feel like a resident in a less affluent part of the country. The hotel is essentially an old building that's received a fresh coat of paint and a few superficial embellishments in typical colors and shapes, offering little more than that. Regrettably, the sanitary conditions fell far short of expectations. The bathroom featured a sink marred by limescale, and the shower was not only poorly sanitized but also old and encrusted with a significant amount of limescale. The website had assured us of air-conditioned rooms, but the reality was quite different. Instead of air conditioning, we were provided with a portable fan, which didn't quite meet our cooling needs. To compound our disappointment, the two towels provided in our room were worn and frayed. When we requested additional towels, we were informed that an extra charge would apply, which was an unwelcome surprise. As evening descended, the hallways remained shrouded in darkness. The hallway lights were notably slow to illuminate, potentially posing a hazard for elderly individuals or children navigating them around 7:00 PM. Furthermore, the absence of a mini-fridge in the room was a notable inconvenience, leaving us without a means to keep our beverages cold. In an otherwise disheartening stay, the one bright spot was the delightful breakfast prepared by a gracious lady each morning, available for around $9. It was a delicious start to the day, and the lady's warm and welcoming service was genuinely appreciated. However, this positive experience was starkly contrasted by the underwhelming service at the reception desk. In conclusion, I hope this candid account of my experience aids you in making an informed decision when considering this hotel for your stay.
