I stayed in this hotel for two nights in December'11. The hotel looks nice from outside, situated at an intersection, very close to city center.
The reception area is good, but the first receptionist I encountered, did not speak English well and I had difficulty communicating with her.
I was given a room on the 3rd floor. In the room wireless internet signals were very poor and sometimes were completely gone. The a/c was very noise, I tried turning it off in the middle of the night, but then I felt cold and re-opened but this time could not sleep well. The room looked as if it was never renovated since the hotel was built. Even the bedsheets looked old.
Next day, I requested to leave the hotel although I paid for another night. Then they gave me another room on the 7th floor. This room was better and bigger, at least the internet speed was ok. It also looked newer than the previous room. Also a/c in this room was not noisy. Receptionist told this is one of the renovated rooms. It was actually partially renovated.
In both rooms the thing I noticed was the dust on the a/c, on tv and behind the fridge. Although they clean carpets, sheets it seems like they never clean the entire room.
The breakfast was good and the breakfast setting was pretty nice. I wish there were eggs as well.
I would not recommend this hotel, there is a nicer hotel right across with almost the same price. I stayed there prior.
