I arrived at this hotel at 2:30pm to see it locked and no way to enter the building. The entrance is actually thru a cafe. There is a small sign that says Eight rooms hotel outside this cafe. It looked like it was closed for business. On enquiring with neighbouring stores, I was told that they have not seen it open for a while. I therefore called the number and the manager then informs me that he had sent me an email with the check in process. The email was sent but while I was on the move. Failure no. 1 was was that they had not sent me the check in process in advance.
So after waiting for over an hour, I managed to get into the hotel using the key code given to me. I opened the room that was allocated to me using another key code only to find that this room was not cleaned after the previous guest check out.
Thats why the poor ratings.
On the positive side, Leo the manager apologised for this mishap and issued me a refund and also offered another room for free. He took full responsibility for this incident. Unfortunately, by the time I received the message from him, I had booked another property as one would.
Having seen the room, it looks spacious and the location is very convenient too. I like to think that this was a once off and mistakes happen. Despite the incident, I like to thank Leo for owning up and doing what was necessary.
