negative:
Various complaints about the bathrooms
Some guests had to flush the toilets more than once each time they used it. Moreover, there was no hot water at times. When these problems happen to you, just call for a repairman to sort things out quickly, or you could ask for a room transfer if you can't bear it.
negative:
Only one key is provided in each room
Guests noted that there was only one key provided for each room even if there were more than two occupants. Thus, you have to be careful not to misplace the keys.
negative:
No lift available
The absence of the lift bothered some guests at first. However, the staff offered help with their bags. In addition, the management was considerate enough to let the elderly guests stay at the first floor.
