The room smelled of faeces. We didn’t initially notice as the smell of cheap cleaning product was overwhelming to begin with, but later on it became very obvious. Seems like a fairly big deal to miss by the cleaners.

The room was a little dated but suitable for our stay. Clean and a comfortable bed. Air-Con noisy so couldn't have it on and sleep. A few negatives but for the price I would stay again when in the area.
