Average

The bathroom shower drain was blocked. Upon complaining they said we can't do anything about it as there is no body available. Upon requesting to change the room they mentioned they are fully booked out. And that's when they arranged someone to look at the drain. They were quick enough to fix it after this. however the overall condition of the room was pretty average. The bed wasn't comfortable and made noises, the bathroom door gave difficulty in closing. It felt lil unpleasant to stay in the room for 1 night.

Staying at this hotel was an utter nightmare. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a musty, unpleasant odor that screamed of neglect. The room was nothing like what they advertised—scam and false marketing at its best.
