I'm writing this review at 4am because I was just woken up by a group of men having a violent fight on the fire escape just outside my room. It was so violent that I thought they were breaking into the room. I called the front desk and the lady said, "Oh, I'm sorry". Only after insisting, she sent up security. Only after it quieted down did I realise that our windows had been unlocked the whole time, left open by the hotel staff.
This was just the last straw in a series of issues. Aircon did not work properly. It took almost half an hour to check in to an empty hotel. The restaurant tried to charge me $80US for a couple of beers and a mixed drink. It turned out they couldn't use a calculator and finally admitted it was $8US. Every conversation I had was a marathon of uncertainty. I was there for only 12 hours and I was in conversations with the staff for at least 2 hours. A taxi was booked through the front desk and a price was agreed, when the taxi came the price had changed upward by 50%, only after another discussion was the price honoured. Also the wifi was next to useless in the rooms.
Having said all of this, I will admit there were some good features. Large room, good breakfast and most of the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
As convenient as this hotel is, it is not cheap and I would never return.
