Everything seemed fine. The room and property smelled weird, and the air conditioner in our room (103) wasn't running well and probably needs to be replaced.

When we checked in, the front desk staff went to check the room to make sure that the room was ready. When we got into the room, there was no toilet paper and tissues. She gave me one roll of toilet paper, and a box of with two pieces of tissues left.
