"This hotel is so not recommended. Why? OK first I got no towel and toothpaste in my room and the bathroom if we take the shower, the water wouldn't go down fast to the drainage so it will create a puddle. Not just that, after I get the towel, the smell of the towel is really not good. The sheet on the bed is also dirty because I can see black stain there. The only good thing about this hotel is only the room is kinda big. "
