Eastern Sands City Centre
"Great Location. Comfy bed Air Conditioner kept changing to cool causing the room to become freezing in the middle of the night. Showerhead was broken so it was more like showering under your garden tap. Room was clean but the whole place is old, worn out and poorly maintained."
