Short stay on budge
Hotel itself was decent for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. In a good location with a McDonald's across the street and a park about a 3 minute walk away.

This is my first time at this hotel. I was surprised at how friendly they are and that, though it's an inexpensive hotel, they provide breakfast (scrambled eggs and toast or rice cakes) included with the room. Unlike others in this price range, they also provide daily housekeeping.

Check in was a nightmare, booked and paid on Expedia and on arrival was told that they have not received the payment even though I showed them the confirmation email and on my bank app that the transaction was being processed, so I had to Pay again. I did eventually get my money refunded but after a few heated discussions.

Not as pictured, not as priced
I've stayed in a lot of budget hotels and hostels overseas. This one was by far the most disappointing. The room looked like it had been neglected for decades. There were no lights over the bed, though the wires were there coming out of the wall. The AC worked, but the control knobs did not . . . so on was all you got. There was no shower head (but there was hot water, so that's a plus). The lock on the door was loose, so I could shift it around with my hand. That said, the staff was friendly and helpful. The $2 airport shuttle ride was a success and much cheaper than a $30 taxi. Expedia offered this room at one price, but somewhere in the process of booking, the price went up $3 . . . that's not much, but it was disappointing to think I was getting it for one price and it turned out to be something different.
