I stayed one night at this hotel during a business trip. First room? Dirty, and the AC barely worked. So, I decided to switch rooms. But guess what? The second room was just as awful! This floor reeked of smoke, and I even found an ashtray in the room (even though I specifically asked for a non-smoking room)!I requested another room, and the staff told me I’d have to pay extra because the only room left was bigger. Excuse me?! How is that my problem?!

Service for official visas is VERY SLOW!I've been taken to the receptionist, told to contact sales, while sales is very slow to respond. Tomorrow I asked again at the receptionist, the file was no longer there. The 3 day visa was NOT FINISHED even until checkout, finally the file was left behind and someone else asked to get it. VERY VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
