super clean room quick check-in helpful reception team bad mattress uncomfortable pillow broken kettle

The room was super clean every single day. i say a special thanks to the housekeeping staff manju. she kept up consistent hard work and high standards! the reception team made check-in quick. it was hassle-free, and they were always available to help with a smile. I appreciated that a lot.

The mattress was not good. it did not meet my expectations at all. the bed made some terrible noises. It was annoying. the pillows were square and thin! very unusual and not comfortable at all. there was no coffee in the room, and the kettle did not work. I like coffee in the morning.

The room was noticeably old and worn out. It showed its age. it smelled slightly of sewage too. It wasn't pleasant. i think they need to work on the maintenance.
