The service crew was friendly but could be more helpful. There is no lift in the hotel, the young able-bodied receptionist could have helped me to lift my heavy luggage up to the first floor. There was stinking (water) smell when I entered the hotel, apparently from leaking pipes. The carpet was moldy. In the room, the curtain was stained. Air-conditioner, water heater, exhaust fan in the bathroom and bed & linen were alright. Furniture was old and needs repair. I stayed for five nights. I had asked for a change of room but there was no follow up. It seems that the surrounding area is being abandoned, many shops I knew before, have closed down. It is difficult to get good food at walking distance now. I knew I couldn't expect much from the price I paid, but the hotel really needs to overhaul its overall service, ambience and cleanliness. There was dirty line thrown, piling up at the corner of the hall way perpendicular to the one my room was on at the first floor.
