I booked this property online and upon arrival i found the room fully prepared for me. I really enjoyed my stay at the property. The staff were so friendly and very quick to respond to request for assistance by guests.

PETER

I originally booked a 6 night stay, I checked in for the first night early in the morning at about 2am. My room was on the third floor but there is no elevator in the building, and it was extremely tiring for me to climb the stairs (I am 68). The room has no a/c and no fan, there is a window/door in the room leading to a balcony but there is no mosquito screen so I was unable to open it. There is a mosquito screen hoisted over the bed but it looked dirty and I did not use it. The room was suffocatingly hot. If I had arrived during the daytime I would have walked out and gone somewhere else. That first night I managed to get a little bit of sleep, despite the suffocating heat. At sunrise, about 6am, I was able to open the window/door to the balcony to let some air in without worry about mosquitos. However, my room in the hotel faces east so the sun was shining directly into my room and within about an hour, the room was like a sauna despite having the balcony window/door wide open. And my room overlooks a busy road and the noise was really annoying. I checked out the next morning, and found a hotel elsewhere. I told the clerk at the lobby the reasons I was moving out, and that night the hotel owner phoned me and offered an apology, and also offered a refund for the remaining 5 nights via the booking agent. The promised refund has not been made. I made a complaint to expedia but they have been unable to reach the owner.
