Look.. what they advertise as the rooms is NOT what you get. They advertise these beautiful rooms but you get what's equivalent to Ibis Motel style accommodation. And yes, precious priscillas complain about it on here and say they'll NEVER stay here again. Sure, more room for us who like VALUE.

Decent location just outside the city. Room was very small and cramped, bathroom very outdated. Also needed to walk around multiple floors to exit the car park as there’s no stairs/lift. Was fine enough for the one night.
