BACKGROUND
The hotel is on the 4th floor of a commercial building. The 1st floor is a big supermarket. The 2nd & 3rd floors belong to a casino and online gambling company.
THE GOOD
The supermarket makes it extremely convenient to buy food, snacks and toiletries. The location of the hotel is heart of town, and it's easy to get to restaurants and malls. The staff are also VERY helpful and friendly. Due to the presence of the casino, there are a lot of guards, which makes the building safer, I reckon.
THE BAD (it's a long list)
1. The walls of the hotel are paper thin. You can hear the THUM THUM THUM from the nearby discos on weekends. You can also hear anyone talking along the corridor.
2. The rooms have very few amenities. Soap? Yes. Shampoo? No. My room's cable TV wasn't working either.
3. The were roaches in my room. I killed at least 5.
4. The beds were creaky.
5. The pillows are too soft.
6. The basic rooms have no windows.
7. Breakfast is free, but very limited options. You have get rice, fried egg, and one meat of your choice. And that meat is either tosilog, longsilog, sausage, or corn beef. For beverage, it's water of a packet of Nescafe.
CONCLUSION
If you're a gambler, or an employee of the casino, or on a budget, this hotel would be an excellent choice. Otherwise, book elsewhere.
