Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There was no staff to greet us; instead, there was just a kiosk that worked sporadically at best for checking in. The rooms were dirty, and in one of them, I found a large spider that terrified me into thinking I wouldn’t be able to sleep in that room. The paint touch-ups on the walls were mismatched, the carpets were damp, and overall, it was a terrible stay.

Normal cheap hotel that was perfectly fine for a few nights. Bed was good and room was fine. You check in at a kiosk with some outsourced workers that you video chat with. Hard to get information about the area when they are in another country.
